Heartache You’ll Want to Stay Up With

Late Season Blooms delivers a raw, whiskey-tinged gem with “Whole Night Heartache”, a slow-burning indie garage rock ballad that feels like it was written in the neon afterglow of some long-lost night. Taken from their new album A Curious Recollection of All That Might Have Been, this track hits all the right emotional notes without ever tipping into melodrama.

From the first jangly guitar riff, you’re dropped into a world that’s equal parts alt-country melancholy and gritty Bay Area soul. The production stays loose and honest, like a garage session where someone’s heart just broke five minutes ago and the only thing left to do is play through it. The drums shuffle like an old friend dragging their feet through gravel, while the bassline hums with just enough warmth to keep you grounded.

What makes “Whole Night Heartache” so compelling is its restraint. It doesn’t beg for your tears,  it earns them. The vocals, tender but ragged around the edges, carry a weight that suggests this isn’t just another song about love gone sour, it’s a postmortem on all the little moments that followed.

Late Season Blooms doesn’t just tell you about heartache; they make you feel it in your bones. It’s the kind of track you throw on after midnight, windows down, memories flooding in. And once it’s over, you might just hit repeat, not because you’re wallowing, but because you’re healing.
