“Transferred to Houston” is a captivating new track from Scalise, a band based in the south metro Twin Cities area. The enthralling rise from twinkling keys and hazy acoustics into a rock-forward vigor plays seamlessly. Lyrical commentary surrounds feelings of “going insane,” culminating in a feeling of euphoric jacket-escaping catharsis that lingers into the resonating guitar-fronted finale.
The project, which began as a duo in 2013, thoroughly impress throughout this dynamic rocker — which was mastered by Huntley Miller (Bon Iver, Lizzo, Hippo Campus).
