Bloomsday is the tender, cerebral project of the NYC-based Iris James Garrison (they/them). Their debut, self-produced record, 'Place to Land', was released in June 2022 on Bayonet Records, an album largely about transitioning and finding a home in their identity, body, and in other people. They released the single, "Jersey Soccer," via Hardly Art's 15th Anniversary Singles Series. Bayonet released Bloomsday’s new LP, ‘Heart of the Artichoke’ on June 7, 2024. Co-produced by Babehoven’s Ryan Albert and mixed by Henry Stoehr of Slow Pulp, the record was crafted with a wide range of collaborators, including inventive drumming from Andrew Stevens (Lomelda, Hovvdy), Alex Harwood, Richard Orofino, Babehoven’s Maya Bon, Hannah Pruzinsky (h.pruz, Sister.), and Chris Daley (Tomberlin).
