Liv Bloore continues to blossom on new single "Her Flowers"
Emerging singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Liv Bloore (she/they) returns with her third single, ‘Her Flowers’, alongside the announcement of her debut EP, ‘In Heaven, After Hours’, due 17th April.
Marking her first fully self-produced release, ‘Her Flowers’ represents a quietly significant step forward in Bloore’s artistic evolution, revealing both the depth of her musicality and a new level of creative independence.
Intimate and unguarded, ‘Her Flowers’ explores queer love, girlhood, grief and the complicated afterlife of relationships that shape us. Delicate without feeling slight, the song is built on folk-leaning instrumentation and restrained, atmospheric production, allowing its emotional weight to unfold slowly over the course of the song. The song opens as a lilting folk ballad before unfolding into an ethereal shoegaze outro, layered with echoing trumpet, drifting harmonies and cinematic piano flourishes. It is as precise in its sound as it is in its sentiment.
Speaking on the story behind the release, Bloore shares;
“Her Flowers is a song for all the girls I have loved and lost. It is about nostalgia, grief and feelings of regret about girls who shaped who I am today, but who I no longer speak to. I wrote it reminiscing on past queer experiences, about grieving a part of myself I felt I lost when I experienced a breakup. Around that time a childhood friend passed away, and the song began to encapsulate a deep feeling of grief, and an understanding that girlhood was finally over.
The song felt so personal and heartbreaking to write, I wanted to challenge myself to produce the whole song, something I hadn’t done before. It was a real labour of love and what started as a really difficult song to finish - trying to illustrate complex feelings of grief in the lyrics, and also teaching myself to produce - I couldn’t be prouder of Her Flowers, it is the most special and vulnerable
song I have ever made.”
Self-produced and written, ‘Her Flowers’ marks a new layer in Liv’s craft. The production mirrors the song’s emotional themes, with the song’s spacious yet intimate, detailed yet understated quality, reinforcing their commitment to making music that feels honest and entirely their own.
The single follows ‘Sing For Me’ and ‘The Darling Song’, two releases that introduced listeners to the ethereal world Bloore is building. Together, the three tracks feel cohesive, bound by a shared atmosphere and vulnerability. Previous releases have earned praise from the likes of Ones To Watch, Record of the Day, Loud Women and BBC Introducing, signalling a strong and assured arrival.
Bloore’s debut EP, ‘In Heaven, After Hours’, will expand on this foundation, incorporating sombre alt-folk, theatrical shoegaze textures and haunting, expansive ballads. The project promises to introduce her songwriting and production style in full, establishing Liv Bloore as a distinctive presence within the indie folk-rock scene.
Liv Bloore is a producer and classical multi-instrumentalist with an indie-rock obsession. Having grown up in rural Suffolk and studying classical music at Cambridge University her influences are an unusual mixture of a love for medieval choral music, and a fixation on female indie rock artists including Ethel Cain, Florence + The Machine, Wolf Alice and boygenius.
Twisting these two genres together, Liv’s sound blends weaves together layers of harmonies, melodic piano runs, soaring theatrical vocals, string arrangements and poetic lyrics all backed with a heavy dose of distorted guitar and spacey drums. Starting every song with the words, her lyrics explore themes of emotional intimacy, queerness, grief, nostalgia, childhood, and the constant question of religion.
‘Her Flowers’ is available now via APOLLO Distribution.
