Described by Yoshika as “the most hopeful song on the album”, ‘In Bloom’ arrives with its accompanying video, which was directed by Tilly Wace and features Yoshika’s family – providing a fitting visual accompaniment to a song that is brimming with warmth and manages to find a glorious optimism amongst existential dread, as Yoshika explains:

“’In Bloom’ is a song exploring the concept of sunny nihilism, which I read about once somewhere. It’s about acknowledging that everything ends, but trying to find the beauty and freedom in that. It’s a song about inevitable death and trying to enjoy your life & the people you love whilst it’s all happening, disguised in a bouncy, upbeat kind of country song”.

“I wrote this song in about half an hour sitting alone in my caravan thinking about a dream I’d had the night before. Moments of this kind of fluidity are so rare but it kind of just flowed out of me. The truth of my subconscious mind rose to the surface, through all the mental mess & clutter and out through the song. It was one of the first songs I’d written for a long time that went towards what I was scared to articulate instead of obscuring it with metaphor or abstract, image based lyrics.”
