Jangly guitars and subdued vocals stir across “Escape,” a moody track from Chicago-based band Dulce. The vocals resemble a hazier Tom Verlaine, exuding contemplative lyricism — “I can escape with you,” — amidst a memorable guitar-led backing with shades of The Clientele. A steady, heady bass line proves hypnotic during the aforementioned refrain, moving seamlessly into verses that cast a nocturnal spell. “Escape” has us firmly anticipating whatever’s next from Dulce.
