TWM Live presents Fotoform, a band from Seattle blending post-punk and dream pop, performing live at the Top Floor of Three Wise Monkeys, Colchester, with support from Slow Husky.

Drawing comparisons to The Cure, Slowdive, and Cocteau Twins, Fotoform’s three albums have received critical acclaim from outlets including NPR, KEXP, Magnet, The Big Takeover, SPIN, and Bandcamp.

Their latest album, Grief is a Garden (Forever in Bloom) (2025), explores themes of grief, love, and loss and was selected for KEXP’s DJ John Richards Record Club, as well as voted by listeners as one of KEXP’s 100 Best Albums of 2025 (#52 – the highest placing independent band).

The album was created by Kim House (vocals, bass, synths, guitar) and Geoff Cox (guitars), joined by Michael Schorr (ex-Death Cab for Cutie) on drums.

Fotoform formed out of Seattle’s goth-gaze band C’est la Mort, debuting with their self-titled album in 2017, which was selected as a KEXP listeners’ Album of the Year. Their 2021 album Horizons earned further attention, including SPIN’s “Video of the Day” for the track Running.

The band have toured across the US and Europe and have supported acts including The Chameleons, Pink Turns Blue, Film School, Actors, Rex, Assemblage 23, Blushing, Varsovie, LSD & the Search for God, Leathers, The Discussion, Sun Atoms, and Glazyhaze.
