Fotoform – Grief Is A Garden (Forever In Bloom) (Digital/CD/Vinyl Album – Fotoform)
The American band Fotoform already has several albums to its name and released its latest work this year.
Their influences clearly stem from the realm of Dream-Pop, with subtle nods to Shoegaze. Guitar and electronic elements blend seamlessly, with the guitar often creating a celestial atmosphere.
The mood is at times melancholic, yet consistently ethereal, guided by a female voice that feels almost angelic.
While I occasionally miss a true climax, this full-length release is nonetheless a pleasant discovery. (Rating:7).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
