THOMAS COHEN BLOOM FOREVER

Former front man Thomas Cohen of one-time South London outfit S.C.U.M has unveiled the title track from his debut LP set for release via stolen recordings on May 6th. 'Bloom Forever' is a majestic ensemble of bold blues and earthy lilts. Penned shortly after the birth of the musician's young son, the track is a timeless and expressive piece of lyrical art. Cohen possesses a powerful and melancholic dynamic which exposes a wealth of connection to all. Reminiscent of both Richard Hawley and Kurt Vile, he appears richly versed in his music and deeply connected to the beauty in his surroundings, the aching loss in life and the fragility and wonder of the human condition. This is a songman who knows how to feel, and sharing this with listeners is the start of it all. -LB
