Bloom is the band 11th studio record, 7 years after their highly acclaimed \u201cballad of the revolution\u201d album and is the culmination of 20 years spent defining their unique take on american music.<\/p>\n
Recorded at Santo Studios in Oakland California over the past 3 years with a mostly new cast of musicians, Bloom continues the trajectory of JOMF\u2019s explorations of song and sonic experimentation.<\/p>\n
Bloom is a patiently crafted record that tells its story through shifting emotional and sonic
\nenvironments, starting in a vacant lot in far west Oakland, where the freeway meets the edge of the
\ncity. The lot was a storage area for the 50 ft. long and 8 ft. high steel pipes that would become the
\nfootings for the new Bay Bridge, sunken into the floor of the San Francisco Bay.
\nThe band met there regularly to play, and recorded dozens of hours of sounds from the
\nbeautifully reverb drenched atmosphere inside the pipes. The lyrically reflective songs that follow are
\ncoming through the lens of solitude, propelled by simple and often fragile structures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":357,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[28],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-858","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-vinyl","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"purchasable","12":"product-type-simple"},"wppr_data":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No"},"yoast_head":"\n
