Bloomfield Machine

Rising up from the pearly shores of Huntington Beach, USA, Bloomfield Machine is a solo project from the talented multi-instrumentalist Brian Kassan. Known for their experimental sound intertwined with ethereal rock elements, Bloomfield Machine is a phenomenal artist with a knack for introducing new sounds to good old rock music. Their latest album, "Copium", is a significant testament to their otherworldly songwriting.


The album begins with "Clusterflux" - a dark and gritty synth track that is adorned with a dystopian vibe. The track is cinematic with revolutionary soundscaping. The constant looping of the machinery


"Aisle of White" is a melancholy groove with organ embellishments to die for. The track is a classic example of indie rock done right. The drum is luscious in this one with the catchy beat.


The next in line is "Deliberate Confusion", which is a bass-heavy synth track with an emphasis on rhythm. The track utilises multiple synth sounds to liven up the electronic sound.


The title track "Copium" is an atmospheric composition with an ethereal percussion loop. The track is reminiscent of the 2000s synthwave moment. It gets super heavy with the introduction of the guitar riffs. It's an overall amazing mixture of synthwave and rock music.


"Destinesia" begins with an addictive drum section, which is later joined by a bit-crushed electric guitar. The soundscape is versatile with different synth elements mixed with a catchy bassline.


"A Little Bit of Everything" has those "Jon Bonham"-esque massive drums. Just as the title suggests, the track implements a little bit of everything. With moving synth lead lines to shimmering electric guitars, the track has it all in harmony.


"Simple City" is the upbeat track of the album. Shining bright like a ray of sunlight, the track is an awesome break in the overall dystopian soundscape of the album with its groovy bassline and heavenly choir section.


"Diminishing Returns" is a slow, cinematic, and emotional track with a mechanical loop and a beautiful choir section. The track will take you to a sci-fi post-apocalyptic world where robots seem to be dying.


"Hedonic Treadmill" has a very interesting use of percussive elements combined with a well-crafted strings section, before breaking it down with an industrial drum sound.


The 10th track "Sonder" is an interesting one with it's bit crushed drums and a mellow piano. Soon, the track takes a turn with the introduction of a Marshall-stacked electric guitar.


"Thoughts Are Noise" implements a bassline that is sure to get you hooked from the get-go. It is later joined by synth lines and a massive string section.


The second upbeat track of the album, "The Beginning of Good", starts it off with a heavenly string section backed by a distorted guitar. The drums take a minimal approach with a catchy but simple groove.


"Trading Happiness" brings the album back to its dystopian roots with a somber and dark synth pad. The mechanical noises will transport you to a robot-led apocalypse.


"What's Next?" begins dark but soon becomes upbeat with the tambourine sound ruling the track. The strings section is ethereal, with the bassline giving the track a latching groove. The track is reminiscent of 80's citypop scene.


"We All Live in a Narcissistic Dream" again brings those industrial percussion back along with sounds borrowed from dubstep. The snare sound is interesting as it samples the iconic MJ sound.


The album comes to a satisfactory conclusion with "Train to Nowhere". The drum work will make you feel the chaos, while the synths will bring a sense of ease to your ears.
