Talk about a memorable debut. The gorgeously dreamy “The Fifteenth Curse” is a smashing success from Canadian act Deperuse. Hypnotic, psych-friendly guitar tones weave around lush vocals, as synth flourishes add a spacey allure. A heady bass line around 01:05 signals a particularly memorable section — shades of early Interpol — with synth/guitar interplay around 02:45 also being a highlight. “The Fifteenth Curse” is certainly one of the year’s most exciting debut efforts, showing Deperuse as an act to follow.
