LUCIDBLOOM Share ‘Aftermath,’ A Profound Journey Through Grief and Connection

Sydney's own LUCIDBLOOM, the mesmerising femme-fronted dream pop outfit, have pulled back the curtain on their latest single, ‘Aftermath’. Released today, this track is a deeply moving odyssey into the realms of loss, the intricacies of human bonds, and the raw process of emotional catharsis.

Renowned for crafting live experiences that blur the lines between reality and dream, LUCIDBLOOM have carved a distinctive niche in the Australian indie landscape, their sound a rich tapestry of ethereal vocals and stunning visual narratives. Following a successful run of sold-out shows in Sydney last year, where they showcased material from their acclaimed debut EP, ‘Calamity’, ‘Aftermath’ serves as a stellar glimpse of what's to come from their highly anticipated sophomore EP.

Recorded at A Sharp Studios and expertly mixed by James Christowski, ‘Aftermath’ showcases LUCIDBLOOM at the absolute peak of their creative prowess. The track unfolds with sparse, atmospheric verses that build into these expansive, soaring choruses. It’s a gorgeous, sweeping sound that draws you into a sonic world that is both deeply personal and grand in scale.

"The song reflects the earth-shattering feeling of grief—when the world stops and you exist in a surreal state, stumbling and searching for arms to catch you," shared sisters and co-writers Jennifer and Katrina Noorbergen. "In times of crisis and collective heartbreak, ‘Aftermath’ is our attempt to process, and seek connection within the wreckage."

Musically, ‘Aftermath’ strikes a delicate balance between melancholic textures and moments of pure sonic euphoria. It's firmly anchored by LUCIDBLOOM's signature vocal layering and immersive production, showcasing a natural progression for a band that consistently pushes creative boundaries while remaining grounded in honest, resonant lyricism.

For those who find solace in the haunting beauty of bands like Warpaint, the expansive soundscapes of Beach House, or the intimate narratives of Daughter, LUCIDBLOOM's ‘Aftermath’ offers a compelling and original experience – dream pop that manages to ache, heal, and linger in the listener's mind long after the final note fades.
