"Blot" is a single from Red Tail Hawk, released December 11, 2015, two days after its companion single "Zoo." Written and produced by Ben Zanfagna, it is the longer of the pair at 4:28, and together the two singles bridge the band's 2014 EP Magnetic Malaise and the 2016 full-length album Night Soup.

How it was made. The drums were tracked at Pilot Recording Studios in Housatonic, Massachusetts, the converted church studio where the band also cut Magnetic Malaise, engineered by Will Schillinger and assisted by Brett Long. Everything else was recorded by Tim Phillips at Phillips Sound in Rowley, Massachusetts, and Morgan Dorr mixed and mastered the song in Los Angeles. Art by Kevin McHugh.

Who plays. Red Tail Hawk: Ben Zanfagna (vocals, acoustic guitar, slide guitar, saxophone), Russ McHenry (piano, organ, Wurlitzer, Rhodes), Pete Whitehead (drums, backing vocals), Eric Turner (electric guitar, bass) and Mike Gruen (bass), with Phil McGowan (drums), Oen Kennedy (electric guitar) and Kevin O'Connell (Wurlitzer) on "Blot."
