Dublin electronica/shoegaze artist Feather Beds releases his second albums, Blooming, via Moderna Records. The album contains 7 songs (34 min, 49 sec) and I have to admit it's not one that I particularly enjoyed... but then it's not one I particularly disliked either.

I've listened to this album for over a month now. I've given it my full attention; I've also listened to it in the background; Hell, I've even put it on a loop while I sleep and yet I'm still no closer to knowing it than when i first played it. I don't know why, but I tend to zone out and don't even notice when it's finished. I can recall nothing of interest, nor can I single out anything that I disliked... The end result is just one jumbled mess of blandness.

No doubt his fans will disagree, but I just found it a little too dull.
