Fotoform Share Grief is a Garden
This Fotoform tune has been kicking about for a few days, but as I was on vacation, I’m just now able to guide you towards the comfort you’re seeking. For my two cents, the song’s draw is the perfect dynamic balance between the angelic tones of singer Kim House and the ambient waves of noise that billow through the background of the song; it creates this cavernous structure, with House as your guide, leading you towards your own solace. Yet, like the thematic essence of grief, growing and budding, the song, too, offers something entirely new when you hit the 2:34 minute mark, channeling a darker sentiment. It’s harrowing in its nature, only to blossom and bloom at the end, recapturing the perfect shimmer for a brief moment before slinking back into the dark. Their new album Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom) drops on April 18th.
