About This Track
311 formed in Omaha in 1988, and "Full Bloom" is about "maintaining some innocence, some wonder," according to Nick Hexum, a callback to connecting with people on a simple, non-digital level, which might be why it fits so well in a playlist produced by Eddy Offord, who worked with 311 on Transistor. The song's major-key optimism and groove you can't fight makes it a perfect fit after some easier tracks.
