Bloom Offering aka Nicole
Carr residente en Seattle con su propuesta synth-wave ha concitado la atención desde
el 2013 por la publicación de varios cassettes.
La mezcla de
sintetizadores, cajas rítmicas, voz grave y atmósferas oscuras está inspirada en
los primeros discos de Human League, Anne Clark, Second Voice, entre otros.
El track que abre
este disco, “Swallow Me Whole” me evoca a “The Calling” del álbum “Nada!” de
Death In June por su base rítmica y ambiente sombrío.
En “Out 2 Get U” con
flirteos al techno industrial, Carr saca su voz escondida y efectos de ecos por
los que despide rabia contra el abuso sexual. “Simple Math” es una canción oscura, con
melancólicas notas del sintetizador y voces deformadas. Mientras que “Imperfect
Absence” cierra este disco, con sus características melodías de ensueño y
pesadilla, donde Carr fija su postura frente a la injusticia de género.

Bloom Offering aka Nicole Carr based in Seattle with her synth-wave
proposal has attracted attention since 2013 by the publication of several
cassettes.
The blend of synthesizers, rhythmic boxes, deep voice and dark
atmospheres is inspired by the first albums of Human League, Anne Clark, Second
Voice, among others.
The track that opens this album, "Swallow Me Whole", conjure-up
"The Calling" from the album "Nada!" by Death In June due
to its rhythmic base and gloomy atmosphere.
On "Out 2 Get U" close to industrial techno, Carr brings out
his hidden voice and effects of echoes for which she rages against sexual
abuse. "Simple Math" is a dark song, with melancholic synth notes and
distorted voices. While "Imperfect Absence" closes this album, with
its characteristic dreamy and nightmare melodies, where Carr sets her stance
against gender injustice.
