Bloom (CD)
Ben Böhmer
Amoeba Review
Bloom is an appropriate title for the latest from Ben Böhmer. These tender, wondrous electronic tracks feel like the soundtrack to new growth, to life and hope springing up from the dirt. Guest appearances from Lykke Li, Oh Wonder, JONAH, Malou, Erin LeCount, Enfant Sauvage, and Max Milner add varied emotional layers to the compositions, while at the same time each voice seems to embody the same questing, thoughtful, resilient nature. The lovely Bloom is an album that'll sneak up on you, the tranquility of its melodies belying the emotional complexity of its lyrics and vocal performances.
