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.
Somewhere Out There is released via Fort Lowell Records (translucent blue vinyl, digital). Release date: October 24.
