Little Bloom by Holden Days

This collection of songs was written and recorded during a very hard year of life, although they might not at all appear to be that way in content or sound. My goal in writing for this album was to capture the things that I saw in life that kept me going-- My best friend's wedding; wanting to fall in love again after a long season of heartbreak; the kindness of friends; fond memories of a different place and time; and other things of that sort of purity.

This album is a step back from our first effort, "Cultivate" in the sense of focusing on succinct songwriting and not relying on elaborate arrangements to make the songs interesting. I sometimes think about the way I perform my songs to people in a live setting, and more often than not, it's just me and an acoustic guitar. So, in writing these songs, I was very intentional to build them with strong foundations so as to not lull people to boredom (or sleep) when I sing them, and to let them have their own atmosphere. Although, you might still fall asleep listening to this album.

All these songs and atmospheres that I've captured for myself proved to carry me out of a pretty heavy state of depression and helped me process all sorts of things I've been facing in life. I hope these songs might mean something to you in a similar capacity. Thanks for reading and listening.
