We’re happy to premiere “Paris Rêve” from Voluptuous Panic, a duo churning out quality dream-pop from Bellingham, Washington. A very late-night vibe is apparent throughout, established by lo-fi percussion, caressing guitars, and subtle piano touches. Vocals and keys ascend at points, like the 44-second mark, though the song retains a comforting, hypnotic pace throughout. The track was written during a particularly creative period for the project, when guitarist/songwriter Brian J. Bowe was living in Paris. Bowe and Gretchen DeVault impress with this project, which I’m looking forward to following.
