Description
BLOUSE was born in a warehouse in Portland, OR. The project started in the summer of 2010, after Los Angeles native Charlie Hilton (guitarist / vocalist / keys) met Patrick Adams (bass) in, of course, art school. Soon after, they began spending nights in the aforementioned warehouse recording with Jacob Portrait now well-known not only as the drummer of BLOUSE, but also as a live member of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and a producer who has collaborated with UMO, Wild Nothing, EMA, Strfkr, Sunflower Bean and more and, after posting two demos to Bandcamp, the trio was picked up by Captured Tracks with their first 7 single, Into Black, following quickly.
Their self-titled debut shows a self-assured BLOUSE unveiling a sound all their own: textural swaths of guitar and wavy keys coupled with Hiltons powerfully alluring voice, her words guiding each song as it unfolds, as if a dream.
Captured Tracks now represses a limited edition of BLOUSE on coke bottle clear vinyl, to celebrate the labels 10th Anniversary.
We love the dreamy 80s-leaning music from Portlands BLOUSE. Woozy, fleetingly wistful. Gorilla Vs. Bear
Blouse harkens back to love in the time before GPS to mine an enduring truth of pop music: getting lost has always sounded good. Pitchfork
