Review by Hayley Avron

There are no ups and downs with Blouse; it plays out like one slow slide from confusion to depression.»

new on captured tracks. blouse is based out of a warehouse in portland, oregon. the project started in the summer of 2010, after la native charlie hilton met patrick adams in art school. they began spending nights at the warehouse recording with jacob portrait. after posting two demos to bandcamp, the band was picked up by captured tracks. their first 7" "into black" was released march this year on captured tracks, sub pop released their second single shadow a few months later. their self titled debut will show blouse in a new light and to a wider audience. the album is more of an unveiling as each song rolls out the map of new territory that blouse is claiming. hilton's powerfully alluring voice guides this experience in a dream like manner. they have hit their stride with this release, a dreamy pop hook laden album for the onset of winter.
