Describing their sound as "Efficacious Poetic Fervor," Los Angeles’s Backnbloom flaunts a sleek mix of nostalgic, well-read
indie rock with harmonious, complex sonic layers, grooving rhythms and a sprinkling of electric violin.
It all started in a cramped Hollywood apartment where ideas were penciled, drums and keyboards programmed - while waiting for a break in traffic and yells from the alley.

- Track Name: Heed the Flashes
-
They can’t see me peering outward through the window pane
Heart is beating, glass is fogging, breath inside escapes
Can you hear me? Thoughts are creeping from my mouth in vain
Pull the handle
Heed the Flashes
God I love this place
CHORUS
Fate has shined upon my brow
Fate has shined upon my brow
Line of heartbeats on the pavement, tears roll down a face
Rocks are cracking under pressure, left to right….now stay
Lips are moving. Looking through them, Chardonnay in hand
Part the masses
Swallow harder
Take your place and stand
CHORUS
Fate has shined upon my brow
Fate has shined upon my brow
They can’t see me peering outward through the window pane
Heart is beating, glass is fogging, breath inside escapes
Can you hear me? Thoughts are creeping from my mouth in vain
Pull the handle
Heed the Flashes
God I love this place
CHORUS
Fate has shined upon my brow
Fate has shined upon my brow
La la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la laaaaa - Track Name: Start Again
-
You've got some problems
And I've got mine, dear
Jump off this see-saw
And cross the line
Chorus
I don't know what you want
Pick it up and start again
I don't know what you need
Pick it up and start again
Hey, hey, hey
Hey -ey -ey-ey ey
Oh Oh Oh
It should be so easy
Time flies by slowly
Is this the place?
Marked by knowing
Let go, embrace
Chorus
I don't know what you want
Pick it up and start again
I don't know what you need
Pick it up and start again - Track Name: Slip Away
-
Swing my babe or let it go
Fortune cookie always knows
Told you so
Told you so
Shifting left right, what's the plan?
Asking questions cause I can
Told me so
Told me so
Chorus
Stay, Stay
Don't go
Stay, Stay
Don't go
Hat in hand, those baby blues
Thought by now you'd have a clue
Told you so
Told you so
Call me crazy, can you see
Get on my page, pretty please
Told me so
Told me so
Chorus
Stay, Stay
Don't go
Stay, Stay
Don't go
Don't let it slip a...
Don't let it slip a...
Don't let it slip a...let it slip away
Don't let it slip a...
Don't let it slip a...
Don't let it slip a...let it slip away
Chorus
Stay, Stay
Don't go
Stay, Stay
Don't go - Track Name: The Feel
-
Can u tell me how the sun can shine as rain drops on my hand?
How a bird will fly into the night not knowing where to land?
There's a reason we all wake and rise, a line of common ground
And a secret that we all should know,
This secret that I found
Pre-chorus
Do not let go
It’s only a feeling
A yes or no
Break through the ceiling
Your choices can lift you up or pull you under
Chorus
Just keep the feel flowing
Just keep the feel flowing
Just keep the feel flowing, flowing
Just keep the feel flowing
See the architects of buildings tall, one seed became a plan
To the doubters tossing mocking words they took a stand
For a moment let your mind resolve, electing what is right
Turning over thoughts, go for the prize with all your might
Pre-chorus
Do not let go
It’s only a feeling
A yes or no
Break through the ceiling
Your choices can lift you up or pull you under
Chorus
Just keep the feel flowing
Just keep the feel flowing
Just keep the feel flowing, flowing
Just keep the feel flowing
Bridge –different melody than Chorus, same lyrics
Flowing
Keep the feel flowing
Chorus - Track Name: Empty Spaces
-
Taking each day slowly
Crawling out from underneath
Where I’ve been hiding
Now you’re in my vision
Nothing else can I see
Before now I always wanted nothing
CHORUS
I look through so many faces
I’ve been to so many places
I don’t like those empty spaces
When you look up at me
Words are difficult to speak
Don’t break the silence
Tell me all your secrets
Daunting as they might be
Realize I always wanted something
CHORUS
I look through so many faces
I’ve been to so many places
I don’t like those empty spaces
¬MUSICAL BRIDGE
CHORUS
I look through so many faces
I’ve been to so many places
I don’t like those empty spaces - Track Name: Flicker

Wide-awake, I hear the whispers
Undefeated
Marvel, Flicker
Shinedown
Shinedown
No mistake, a pattern, contact
Double frame
The Color, contrast
Meltdown
Meltdown
Multiply, heal the fissure
Saturating
Pardon, Pleasure
Smile down
Smile down
Take a breath, the final levy
Syncopated
Ever ready
Rain down
Rain down
CHORUS
Eyes that shine so bright
Promise, Hope, Ignite
Participle of a lifeline
Eyes that shine so bright
Promise, Hope, Ignite
Participle of a lifeline
Gratify, Into the center
Unaffected
Hover, Shimmer
Countdown
Countdown
Intertwine, Lines are clearer
Unabated
Savor, Treasure
Spellbound
Spellbound
Marvel, Flicker
Color, Contrast
Pardon, Pleasure
Ever ready
Hover, Shimmer
Savor, Treasure
Participle of a lifeline,
Flicker, Flicker

Eyes that shine so bright
Promise, Hope, Ignite

Participle of a lifeline - Track Name: Venice

VERSE
Tick tock
Floating high
Crush
Messy hair, fashion flair
Coming through
Starry eyed
More, more, more
Tick tock
Floating high
Crush
Starry eyed
More, more, more
UNDERNEATH THE VERSE
Find connection
Nothing more
Find connection
Nothing more
CHORUS
Keen sense of justice
Conviction to be fair
Keen sense of justice
No favorites anywhere
Keen sense of justice
Conviction to be fair
Keen sense of justice
Love people everywhere - Track Name: King of the Radio
-
I spot a moonbeam
Behind an open door
A blue and white dream
He’s standing there no more
But his beat has got me
Come on and sing it out
CHORUS
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
The light is blinding
Find markings on the floor
Intensifying
Out from my heart it pours
CHORUS
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
His beat has got me
Come on and sing it out
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
King of the radio!
Oh oh oh oh oh
King of the radio
Oh. Oh - Track Name: Hollywood Blvd. Remix

Ponies on another display
Faces painted over a time that no longer is
Riding on another good day
Look at the show
Look at ‘em go
Revel in the lies
You’re fading away
CHORUS
Knots and tangles
Dreams mangled
Knots and tangles
Dreams mangled
To be…
Walking alone on Hollywood Blvd.
Isn’t this a wonderful place?
Peace and quiet shattered by TVs and radios
Making yet another mistake
All that they know
No where to go
Revel in the lies
You’re fading away
CHORUS
Knots and tangles
Dreams mangled
Knots and tangles
Dreams mangled
To be…
Walking alone on Hollywood Blvd.
Knots and tangles
Dreams mangled
Knots and tangles
Dreams mangled
To be…
To be…
To be…
Walking alone on Hollywood Blvd.
Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood Blvd.
