85. BLOUSE "INTO BLACK"


here's a stunningly beautiful, hazy dream pop track i've been meaning to post for some time, Into Black from Portland based, gloomy, indie pop trio Blouse off their forthcoming "Into Black/Firestarter" 7" (2011).

"I wanna watch you fade into ..."

Blouse singer Charlie Hilton's soft dreamy vocals et swirling, blissed-out harmonies guide us through the hazy, broody atmosphere that haunts Into Black, an infectious, jangly guitar riff noodles away while a throbbing bassline et reverb-laden stomping/splashing drums pump a steady rhythmic stream into the track. i'm hanging out for Blouse's debut album which has been set for release on Captured Tracks around July. until then enjoy these tracks!
