Ear to the Ground: Blouse

Blouse is an alternative group from Portland, OR that seems to run the gamut with sound. Their original sound was more driven by 80's-style synths and hazy, dreamy vocals which were a throwback to New Wave. The newer albums focus on a more solid rock vibe that is both rich and complex. Charlie Hilton's songwriting just continuously gets better with time, although keeps much of the subject of love and loss in focus. As the band has birthed another album, it has also shown inherent evolution and quality. Although I still adore their New Wave roots and always will, I have to admit their latest album is insanely amazing. I was fortunate enough to see them live a while back and
