Dreampop multi-instrumentalist Blase will be playing at The Sandspur in Carolina Beach, NC on March 7 (2-5). Expect lots of songs from his latest album Somewhere Out There: "[He] plays the kind of dreampop that is able to transport listeners to an alternate reality where things are quite beautiful and, as an added bonus, age is not a number, but has come to a standstill."
HCTF review of Somewhere Out There
Wilmington, NC based multi-instrumentalist Blase plays the kind of dreampop that is able to transport listeners to an alternate reality where things are quite beautiful and, as an added bonus, age is not a number, but has come to a standstill. His Somewhere Out There album flows gently and might be mistaken for a long lost record from the golden age of psychedelic pop, when echo and reverb smoothed over the rough edges of real life.
Using the upper regions of his vocal range, Blase acts as the guide of his own world, pointing out places where it is OK to be on your own (Middle of Nowhere) or in good company (Finding Myself in You, Where Only We Know). Somewhere Out There is a collection of songs that deserves to be enjoyed with undivided attention, so turn off your phone and drop the needle on this gem of indie pop.
Wilmington, NC based multi-instrumentalist Blase might have found the cure for aging on his new single Finding Myself in You. As long as he is together with his significant other "the days never grew old", because each day comes with a new way to find himself as part of the equation. Drenched in synths and guitar flourishes he created a dream pop maze for the listener to wander around in.
Wilmington, NC based multi-instrumentalist Blase mixes his synths textures with multi-layered vocals to create a psych-pop song that is an invitation to look up at the sky in wonder on his Under the Same Stars single, a track from his forthcoming Somewhere Out There album. While he is away from his loved ones, the fact that they can see the same distant suns at night offers some consolation.
