band crush: blouse

It’s kind of an achievement when I find a good band myself without clicking suggested artists on Spotify as sad as that sounds. The self titled debut is just a hazy. Picture a Polaroid photo as soon as it comes out of the camera, you know that dreamy hazy shot? That’s what the record sounds like.  It seems to just capture my imagination perfectly with those murmuring vocals [Charlie Hilton] and chilly synths. I kind of think of Warpaint when I listen to them... have a listen to the song below and you’ll see what I mean.

The lo-fi band come from Portland and was originally inspired to name their band Blouse because of a sign in a dry cleaners window and, for them, it suited them perfectly.

I think it’s clear they are inspired by 1980s pop and aim to recreate that essence in each track.

Have a listen to my favourite track off the album. Hope you enjoy it X
