bloom by The BlueStocking
We're taking you on a ride through the cycles of bloom.
We'll start with the psychedelic, slow-burn blossoming of a feeling, then dive into the last glimpse of hope in a fatal situation and finally find ourselves in a bewitching garden of grunge chaos.
Life & Death, joy and tragedy, wither and bloom.
The cover is not as simple as it looks. It's the work of photographer Ekaterina Perfilyeva from her "Flowers at Moscow cemeteries" series. Just like the record, it brings together a bright palette of colours and doubtless darkness, the natural and the fake, and finally, life and death.
