Bloem's voice and musical style have been compared to Björk. Her music is mostly melodic although a couple of the songs on her album are quiet, just Bloem and her acoustic guitar. The album was produced by Pete Briquette, of Tricky fame. After her debut Bloem de Ligny virtually disappeared from the music scene, only to return in 2006 as Fono & Serafina, a duo with Ties van der Linden, releasing the dreamy trip hop album 'bathtub'.
Bloem is currently a member of Sam and the Womp, a British-Dutch group fronted by trumpeter Sam Ritchie. The group’s debut single "Bom Bom" was released as a digital download on 19 August 2012 and went to the No. 1 spot in the UK Singles Chart and has sold over a million copies worldwide.
Capsule
Bloem De Ligny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes and I can see a lick
Of gold traveling
I know it is a sugarbeam
It suckles me inside like a capsule
It is traveling inside you are pink intestines guts
And wandering around as if the goon was made of gum
Spider, spider, spider
Les Claypool
Moan mister molecule is driving his tomatostick
And I can't find my gun
No I can't find my gun
He's eating all my vegetables
I wish that I could make him splash
But I can't find my gun!
No I can't find my gun
Bloem
Scratchy makes me paranoid
I know he is a liar
And he makes me want to fuck with him
As if he was the sun from every seed
We must be watching him
His graces are too big
And I don't know what I should do with him
I think he is too big
Bloem & Les Claypool
Spider, spider, spider
Les Claypool
Moan mister molecule is driving his tomatostick
And I can't find my gun!
No I can't find my gun
He's eating all my vegetables
I wish that I could make him splash!
But I can't find my gun!
No I can't find my gun
Bloem & Les Claypool
Moan mister molecule is driving his tomatostick
And I can't find my gun
No I can't find my gun
He's eating all my vegetables
I wish that I could make him splash
But I can't find my gun!
No I can't find my gun
Bloem
Master hisss don't frame me
I I,I,I don't want to lose you with
Your tongue you can embrace me
Every time you feel the urge
Don't forget to drive the Rosafund

Bloem & Les Claypool
'I look like Albert Sexamonia'
Bloem
I think she speaks the truth
The song "Capsule" by Bloem De Ligny features strange yet intriguing lyrics that paint a vivid and imaginative picture. At its core, the song seems to be about experiencing a rush of sensations caused by a "sugarbeam" traveling through one's body like a "capsule." The lyrics describe the feeling of being absorbed by this rush of energy, and the strange, hallucinatory images that accompany it. The song features strange, surrealistic descriptions of spiders, molecules driving "tomatosticks," and a creature named "Scratchy" who is described as a "liar" and whose "graces are too big."
The song also takes an unexpected turn, as Les Claypool (of Primus fame) contributes some vocals about a "mister molecule" who is eating all his vegetables and driving his "tomatostick," while he searches for his missing gun. Overall, the lyrics seem to be a celebration of the joys of sensory overload and the strange, otherworldly experiences that can result from it.

I feel the sensation of a sweet beam of light inside me, as if I'm being nursed by a capsule. This beam is traveling through my intestines and wandering around, feeling light and elastic.
Scratchy makes me paranoid

And he makes me want to fuck with him
As if he was the sun from every seed
We must be watching him

And I don't know what I should do with him
I think he is too big
Scratchy, whoever or whatever it is, makes me uneasy and suspicious. It has an aura of greatness that makes me want to challenge it, as if it's the source of everything. We should keep a close eye on it, but its power is so immense that I'm not sure what to do about it.

Calypso says
I don't want to be falsely accused, and I want to be close to you, so use your words to express your love for me. When you have the urge, don't hesitate to give me affection. Calypso advises us to remember to cherish what we have.

This album is made over 10 years ago, and she doesn't really sounds like Bjork ;) She has her own sound(s) and voice ;)
