Bloomsday's Iris James Garrison crafts songs that feel like a blend of reflection and nostalgia, reminiscent of the essence of a Mary Oliver poem. Their new album, 'Heart of the Artichoke', celebrates the beauty in small things and the bonds of friendship, capturing the essence of everyday miracles and treasured memories like nightswimming and the magic of music.

Recorded over 10 days in June 2023 in upstate New York, the album was a collaborative effort featuring contributions from various artists like Babehoven's Maya Bon and Hannah Pruzinsky. The recording process was a communal experience, marked by family dinners and bonfires, reflecting the joy and purity of artistic expression.

Collaboration is key to Bloomsday's approach, with Garrison fostering an environment where creativity can flourish. While Garrison's songwriting provides structure, there's room for exploration and interpretation by both the musicians and the listeners.

Garrison's songwriting style is reminiscent of the alternative radio hits of the 90s, with catchy melodies that linger in the mind. The standout track, "Dollar Slice," combines Garrison's powerful vocals with the bustling energy of New York City.

Thematically, the album explores personal growth and healing, with Garrison reflecting on past struggles and embracing the present moment. 'Heart of the Artichoke' serves as a tribute to the transformative power of healing, allowing individuals to blossom and thrive.
