London art-rock quintet Blousey make their rousing debut with ‘Canela Skin’. The self-described “Patron Saints of Fun” have spent the last two years navigating London’s DIY live scene, packing out beloved grassroots venues with their electrifying sets. ‘Canela Skin’ emerges from a dusky underbelly, pinning down a primal interplay of surrender and of control through its spring-loaded riffs that spread in waves of raw energy, elevated by driving organ and a labyrinthine union of saxophone and violin - all centred around an alluringly anthemic chorus for a frantic feast of sound. ‘Canela Skin’ dances upon the chaotic and melodic, drawing the listener into Blousey’s world of mystery and intrigue while leaving you with an untameable hunger for more. -Kayla Sandiford
