There’s a gorgeous kind of gloom dripping from “My Bloody Kisses”, the latest release from gothic metal/shoegaze project Flowers for Juno. It arrived on March 12, 2025, with a sound that’s as heavy-lidded as it is emotionally charged — brooding, romantic, and strangely addictive.
Led by Benjó James, who handled every element from vocals to bottle synths and final mastering, this track oozes personality. The guitar work is drenched in reverb and layered with a shoegaze shimmer, while the drum loops add a pulse that feels more like a heartbeat than a beat. Benjó’s voice threads through the fog with a kind of worn intimacy, like someone singing from inside a dream you didn’t know you had.
“My Bloody Kisses” blends mood and melody without fuss. There’s no need to decipher it — you can let it wash over you, or press your ear to every detail. Either way, it holds your attention. That’s rare. Personally, I found myself looping it during a late-night walk and noticed how naturally it soundtracked the city’s after-hours stillness. Also, the second half of the track? Absolutely nailed it — it blooms without losing the edge.
Flowers for Juno continues to resist easy classification. They’re building something deeper than genre labels. If you’re into music that’s atmospheric, intimate, and dark without trying too hard, this one’s worth your time. Make sure to follow Flowers for Juno on Instagram and Facebook to keep up with what they’re working on next. And seriously, add “My Bloody Kisses” to your playlists — whether you’re holed up on a rainy afternoon or driving aimlessly past midnight, this track fits. Hit the links, let it in, and let it haunt you for a while.
