New Single from Blouse
Last February we featured the Portland band Blouse, the Depeche Mode/The Cure influenced shoegaze band that released "Into Black." Blouse is back and recently released a new 7" single "Shadow" via Seattle-based indie megalabel Sub Pop.
"Shadow" is a throwback to the early '80's of Human League and OMD, it covers death and despair in with the cloak of summer.

The B side is "Nights & Days," a shoegaze track that highlights the vocals of singer Charlie Hilton with another '80's flashback. The track could have been released in 1983, but it doesn't sound dated like La Roux, but it's a logical progression from Depeche Mode and New Order's early albums to this track.
Blouse is currently in the studio recording their Captured Tracks debut album. "Shadow" and "Nights & Days" is available on vinyl from Sub Pop and for download from Amazon
. Their first single, "Into Black" and "Firestarter" is available from iTunes and Amazon

Blouse is the best out there right now. I love the sound, reminds me so much of OMD and the Cure. Awesome music, and great blog!
