Fotoform’s third album, Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom), explores loss and grief through shoegaze-inflected post-punk with poetically disarming honesty and vulnerability. The Seattle band have refined their crystalline sound into a warm gauze of beauty, sadness, and drive on their new album.

Kim House (vocals, bass, synths, guitar) and Geoff Cox (guitars) create an intimate and profoundly personal work, highlighting themes of loss, pain, resilience, and transformation. Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom) dives deep into existential questions – at turns, cathartic, graceful, and propulsive – all the while unflinching and direct. Kim House’s lyrics continue to surprise and disarm, while the music shimmers, swirls, and shudders.
