bloom effect is a shoegaze/dream-pop trio based in Vancouver, BC. Formed by Argentine-born vocalist/bassist Jula Lafit, UK-born guitarist Craig Weighman, and drummer Tom Rappa, the band crafts ethereal yet powerful soundscapes influenced by bands like Cocteau Twins and Alvvays.

This fall, they return with oscilón, a 6-song EP, out September 19. A sonic vessel for cosmic, euphoric love, this record transcends the local and touches something universal. Released by cult Vancouver label Kingfisher Bluez—captivated after witnessing an intimate, deconstructed performance by the band—soon to be available digitally and on vinyl.

Now, they release new single ‘Surreal’ as a preview of the new EP: “An ascending journey with a pop skeleton and post-rock lungs. ‘Surreal’ is all movement, climax after climax, resolving only in the outro’s sensual calm. A set-closer. A slow burn into transcendence,” say bloom effect.
