BL00MS
BL00MS makes a convincing whole from six pieces, with its longer opening and closing tracks giving Machinedrum's compact release a purposeful shape.
Released on 2 June 2026, BL00MS is described by Machinedrum as his first independently released album and marks his first release on IAMSIAM. The six-track mini-LP is compact, but its sequence feels complete and its material holds together well.
THE FROG SONG establishes the opening at more than six minutes. The space given to it works within the album's proportions, setting up a sequence whose middle pieces are shorter. That difference in scale gives the running order a satisfactory shape.
NO 1 KNEW, WHEN UR GONE, FADE AWAY and BOUNCE N SLIDE make up that central stretch. Their shorter forms work as parts of a connected record, maintaining its coherence between the more substantial pieces at either end.
BL0000M gives the mini-LP a purposeful conclusion. The ending confirms the effectiveness of the sequence, leaving BL00MS feeling resolved within its modest span. Machinedrum has assembled a cohesive release whose individual compositions make sense in one another's company.
