Silver Bloom by Jake Ballard
Ballard’s new album SILVER BLOOM steps away from his blusier sound and into a new uncharted sonic landscape.
Based around a liminal aesthetic with cerebral subject matter, all
10 tracks are soaked in reverb, containing tight improvisation, mysterious guitar tones and emotional, heavy hitting lyrics.
Co-produced by fellow Halifax artist, the prolific and talented Laura Merrimen, the two collaborated with Jake’s long time band (Ben Matthews - Bass, Adam Coveyduc - Drums) and mixing engineer Franc Lopes at Ocean Floor Recording in Halifax. Together, Jake and his team poured their souls into this project, creating a unique and moving piece of art that’s bound to stand the test of time.
