'Place to Land' showcases Bloomsday's talent as writers, producers, and players. Iris James Garrison and Alex Harwood used the downtime of 2020 to hone their sound and create an album that walks a tightrope of, in their words, of "tenderness, darkness, and fun stuff." Brooklyn-based and embedded securely in the DIY music community, this record is a tender contemplative journey. Iris's singing is gorgeously legible and as Alex's guitar licks echo and sing back, an effortlessly elegant arrangement. The solid friendship between these two musicians establishes the building blocks for each song. Bloomsday delivers an emotional debut-a confident new voice emerging after a period of loss and transformation.
