In “Armour,” bloom effect captures the essence of shoegaze and dream-pop with a vibrant and emotional intensity that is both refreshing and profound. The track is a sneak to their EP Portents that is due out December 11th.
From the very beginning, “Armour” envelops listeners in a swirl of lush, fuzzed-out guitars, and atmospheric reverb. The driving beat infuses the song with a pulse that is irresistibly engaging and melodies that are hauntingly beautiful
The song explores the tension between our heroic aspirations and the reality of our imperfections. The metaphor of wearing armour to hide our vulnerabilities rings strongly in a world that often pressures us to appear invincible. The ethereal vocals soar with both strength and delicacy that makes the song’s message feel intimate and understandable..
As one of bloom effect’s most dynamic tracks to date, “Armour” harmonises intricate melodies with a powerful wall of sound appeals to both shoegaze enthusiasts and new listeners alike. The single sets a high bar for later releases from Portents. “Armour” is a blend of rich soundscapes and thoughtful lyrics that invites both reflection and movement.
