POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
Voting is open for KEXP’s Best of 2025. You can vote for up to 10 albums. We’d be honored if Fotoform – Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom) is among them.
We love looking through the list to see the albums that came out this year and seeing friends on there, too.  

It’s been an emotionally charged year for us, and our album feels so central to all of it. We had thought releasing these songs – which center on love, loss and healing – would be a release in a more literal sense. Instead, it has become a touchstone for reflection and deepened connection with family, friends and strangers, especially as we’ve experienced more unexpected losses this year.

It’s really been kind of a “grief conversation starter kit” in some ways, too. We’ve loved the open dialogues it has prompted with new friends and extended community as we’ve played these songs at shows near and throughout Europe. I can’t begin to convey how much it makes my heart swell every time someone I don’t know comes up and shares their own experiences after our shows. 

Grief makes us yearn for real connection. We are so grateful for the portal this album has opened for us.

@kexp is an incredible station and community resource, not just for Seattle but also worldwide. As @djjohnrichards remarked at the Death & Music event this last weekend, music gives us words and ways to process our grief and loss. I know the healing process for Geoff and I has deepened in the wake of creating this album, and we take comfort in knowing that we’re helping others in some small way, too.

If our music has touched you, we’d appreciate you taking a moment to vote.
With love and light
xx Kim
