about

the album artwork is titled "don't die with your music trapped still inside you" by polly anna. the music was recorded in 2014 using, among other things, a saw, a dulcimer, and a singing bowl (the 3 instruments in "while my heart gently weeps")...as well as electric guitar ("teardrops...")...various percussion and acoustic instruments ("see/\saw"), a harp totem ("singing sea"), and other voices... "oceania" is from summer 2013 but seems to fit with this collection, pieced together in december of 2014.

review from raisedbygypsies.com:
raisedbygypsies.blogspot.com/2015/02/cassette-review-blossom-while-my-heart.html

"While I am hesitant to call this ambient it does have that quality that allows you to not only hear this music but also to feel it and engage in a reaction to it in that sense, which is what I believe to be the basis of ambient music on some level. What blossom does here is described best as peaceful doom. I realize that when doom is coming and it seems like it's going to take you down sooner rather than later it's going to be anything but peaceful. The very idea of doom makes you think of panic and chaos, so how can it be peaceful? I don't really have an answer for that and there is no cliche like the calm *during* the storm, so you have to just experience this for yourself to find out. "
