I'm surprised I haven't found space to write about Blouse since their debut track last November, on the back of those early bandcamp demos they were soon snapped up by the excellent Captured Tracks who released the deliciously dreamy 'Into Black' on 7" earlier this year and will follow with the debut Blouse full-length record on November 7th (US November 1).
We've been treated to a new track from the album, the ideally named "Videotapes" sounds like it could have been recorded for an 80's Commodore game, minimal new-wave, with woozy and nostalgic beats.
Starting with a dark synth ambience that could have been borrowed from label mates The Soft Moon "Videotapes", a more urgent, bass-driven number than we've heard from Blouse previously is one of their finest tracks to date, continuing with the seductive power of Charlie Hilton's beautifully dream-like vocals as the Portland trio intoxicate you with their hazy, wistful gems.
