THIRD BLOOM – British Ambient Trip-Hop Artist And Singer TRASH BREEZE Take You On A Fascinating Odyssey With ‘GRACE’

Daily electricity to load your batteries

13 April 2026

Artist: THIRD BLOOM
Who: A muscial and visual artist based in Brighton (UK). Drawing on years of immersion
in trip-hop, ambient, dubstep, and junglist traditions, all refracted through a prism of classical-influenced electronica. His cinematic experiments, both sonic and visual, have consistently borne rich creative fruit.

Track: GRACE

Press Info: “This is Third Bloom at his most politically charged. Where his earlier work explored the friction between electronic production and organic soul, Grace pushes deeper, into anger, grief, and the kind of hope that only survives after everything else
has burned.”

TUTV: Grace is a fascinating piece of music. It’s a three-part odyssey starting with a
speech-like message citing human rights, much-needed tolerance, and unconditional inclusivity as much-needed social instruments for survival.

Then singer Trash Breeze joins in and delivers a mesmerising vocal performance,
while trip-hop vibes in the back prepare for part three, where synths and drum/bass
take over for a 4-minute outstretched trip, think DJ Shadow’s superb album ‘Entroducing‘.
As said, a fascinating piece of music.

About the video: “‘Grace’s accompanying video is a confrontation. Hundreds of
human faces – every age, gender, race, and aesthetic – flicker past in a rapid stop-motion sequence, a kaleidoscope of shared humanity that refuses to let the viewer look away. Tash Breeze‘s own face weaves through the tapestry, appearing and disappearing as the track builds.”

Press photo by Tom Ham

Bristol punks IDLES have worked their
way up since 2018 with 4 splendid albums.

And the recordings of number 5 are finished. The new one
is baptized TANGK and materialises on 16 February 2024.

Joe Talbot (frontman): “I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and
it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.”

Following first single Dancer featuring backing vocals from LCD Soundsystem’s
James Murphy
and Nancy Whang we get appetizer #2 titled GRACE . A hypnotic
slow moving musing that ends, yes, like The Beatles masterpiece A Day In The Life.

Talbot (frontman): “The song came from nowhere and everything. It was a breath and
a call to be held. The only words or singing that came from our sessions with Nigel and
I needed it, truly. All is love.”

New NICK CAVE Photo Book Called ‘…GRACE’ With DEREK RIGERS Shots

23 November 2022

Renowned British photographer DEREK RIDGERS (aged 72) has photographed
an array of youth and cultural movements in the UK, street, and alternative London
club scenes. This is the first book published on Ridgers’ early photography that focuses
on a single person as subject. This book comprises material taken from four photographic shoots with NICK CAVE, when Ridgers was working as a freelance photographer and offering material to music press publications of the time.

All formats/order info via publisher BURNING BOOK PRESS.

Taken from Ridgers’ archives and scanned directly from the original photographic transparencies this material has been printed by full colour lithography with the black
and white also being run as full colour to obtain optimal results and high contrast. With this attention this is the best these photographs can be seen.

The pages have been section stitched and hardback bound in a blue cloth with a rounded spine. There is a recessed tip in picture and the title has been gold foil blocked on the front and spine. There is an additional blind image in black on the back cover. Inside an obsolete traditional Heidelberg letterpress was employed to hole cut a perforation running down one of the pages.

JEFF BUCKLEY Released His Heavyhearted Debut Album ‘GRACE’ 25 Years Ago…

23 August 2019

The late great JEFF BUCKLEY released GRACE his debut album, actually his only proper studio LP, 25 years ago today, on 23 Augustus 1994. A heavily emotional album with Buckley’s characteristic touching vox as one of the main instruments for his introspective and intimate inner journeys. Compelling, captivating and passionate from start to finish. Initially, the LP was largely ignored and peaked at number #149 in the U.S. but slowly but surely critical acclaim build up. Eventually Grace had sold over 2 million copies worldwide.

ALL MUSIC wrote: “Jeff Buckley was many things, but humble wasn’t one of them. Grace is an audacious debut album, filled with sweeping choruses, bombastic arrangements, searching lyrics, and above all, the richly textured voice of Buckley himself, which resembled a cross between Robert Plant, Van Morrison, and his father Tim. Grace sounds like a Led Zeppelin album written by an ambitious folkie with a fondness for lounge jazz.” Score: 5/5

Key tracks

– HALLELUJAH –

– LAST GOODBYE –

– LOVER, YOU SHOULD’VE COME OVER –
