Fotoform return with their third album, Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom), set to come out on April 18th, 2025. The first single and video, If You Knew / Don't You Worry, Baby, exhibits the band's signature mixture of sentimentality and sonic depth, drawing inspiration from the timeless aesthetics and sounds of classic 4AD-era dreampop.
Kim House and Geoff Cox showcase a continuously developing musical maturity, giving way to a record which is intimate and expressive, rooted in vulnerability and the universal struggle with existential unease.
With their new offering, Fotoform continue to refine their very well executed fusion of post punk directness with the lush and dreamy textures of shoegaze, making great use of ethereal guitars, haunting synths, and sorrowful vocals into a sound which appears all artful and eloquent.
