“I’m To Blame”
Boardwalk (out later this year on Stones Throw)
Over the past couple of years, I’ve written extensively about my love for dreamy Ontario-based duo Memoryhouse, so it comes as no surprise that I would sa-fuckin-woon over the decidedly MH-ish debut single from these newly-signed Angelinos. Amber Quintero’s breathy vocals glide effortlessly over alluring electric piano and a languid guitar line. Though it’s not going to blow you over at first, it’ll burrow its way in, gently inviting you to drift off to sleep. It easily could have been an outtake from Memoryhouse’s perfect debut EP, The Years, and I am NOT mad about that.
Thanks to Tiny Little Rockets for the tip.
