Greetings dearest gentle reader and music lovers let’s welcome US artist Bloomfield Machine. This artist is a one-man show playing the Keyboards, guitar, bass, loops, and finger drums. This talented artist has released a 16-track album called “Suiteness”. This album was released on 16th August. Let’s talk more about this album
The album’s first song is called “Euphoric Recall”. The song’s intro is a very bright fusion of sounds. These sounds form a singular melody that is exciting and makes you feel giddy while listening. The song has a particular melody but make no mistake thinking it is boring because it gives you this instant dopamine rush that lingers on for a while. This song is indeed euphoric because it gives you a shot of euphoria and before you know it you are hooked on it and flying high enjoying this musical high that is unlike anything you have felt before. This song gives you a taste of what to expect on the album
Next is the song called “On a Bender “. The song opens with this synth sound which is later added to a funky bass line and drum beat. As the song goes on it morphs into a different melody with its accompanying feeling. The song is very delightful and its outstanding instrumentation will lift your spirits, no matter the mood you’re in
“Something shifted” is the next song on the album. The song starts with a slow but bright electronica sound that is very appealing. The song’s beautiful charms draw you into its delicate sensibilities and make you hungrier for the next song
Next is the “Normal amount of pain” The song has a darker allure that will get you excited about listening to it. When the drum beat is added you can see the story the artist wanted to tell with this song unfolding before your very eyes. But no matter what this song means to you, it is a song that will exhilarate you as you listen
“What is Left” is the next song on the album. The song starts with these synth-thumping beats before a lovely tone is added to it. The song transports you to an auditorium where you are listening to a beautiful symphony and it is just breathtaking to experience
Next is the song” Upload Yourself”. The song has more of a jazz vibe in the beginning but later on, the song just oscillates through different vibes and different styles. The drum solo really stands out in this song. This song is a beautiful one and it breathes life into the album again with its wily charms
Next is the song called “Cosmic Debris” The song opens with a Burst of awesome drumming before a piano sound is added to it. Like the other songs on the album, it doesn’t stay the same. Each note and each instrument changes throughout the course of the song keeping you on your toes in great anticipation of the next song
“Symmetry Mistake” is the next song. This song is very cool and soothing right from the start. The song has subdued instrumentation arranged in a way that is very soothing and relaxing. The song this you on an auditory ride unlike anything you’ve ever experienced
“A series of accidents” follows suit. The opening of this song is a very exciting drum beat that is fused with electronica sounds. The song is incredibly fascinating, each note and each beat sounding very unique and avant-garde. This song reminds listeners that they are on a journey of a lifetime with this album
“Doom Loop” is the song that comes next. The opening of this song is a buzzing synth sound that sounds like songs from the late 70s and early 80s. The song is purely breathtaking and creates a sonically charged system
“Double down” is the next song. The opening is very bold and exciting. The title of the song spoke to me because it sounded like the third act of a film where the hero is training or doubling down on his training to be able to fight the bad guys and win the fight. Through the song’s instrumentation listeners can see this picture very clearly in their mind’s eye and therefore get an all-immersive experience
“This song doesn’t exist” is the next song on the album. The song is very exciting right from the jump. From note to note, melody to melody listeners will find themselves intrigued by the decadence of the song and how it delights and heightens your emotions while you listen
“Mugged by Reality” is the song that comes next. The song has a very unique opening. The song seems to talk about being shaken into reality. This is evident when it gets to a part of the song where it sounds distorted and almost robotic signifying the shattering of one’s bubble keeping him or her from reality. The song is very exciting and you can understand the artist’s point of view when you listen carefully and get the message he is trying to relay
Next is the song called “Misery Bond” The song opens with something that sounds like a thunderclap before the piano sound and drums are added. As the song revs up, so does the song’s melody and tempo do the same. The song creates a soundscape and an inescapable earworm that listeners will enjoy
“Hope springs infernal” follows next. The song has a very upbeat intro before it turns into a dark and mysterious sound. The song gives you an eerie vibe at first but softens and then becomes a beautiful butterfly, no longer a caterpillar ready to fly into the world
The last song on the album is titled “Lethargica”. The song starts with short voice notes talking about how the method of making something is what matters and how an orchestra is fused into a powerful sound, an omega-level mutant if you would. The gentle piano sound behind this voice comes to an end after this line “the design” is complete. This line is very coincidental seeing as this song completes the album
This album truly spoke to me, even though it is entirely instrumental. This is a rare quality that this album possesses. I didn’t just enjoy it because the artist strives for perfection in his work, understood the power of music to change moods and give meaning where it’s hard to find, or because he made all the songs himself. I was completely blown away by his talent and he will dominate the music industry, just wait and see
