Dress Warm Announce Stepping Away; Share Fortune Teller Video

Leave a comment

I first fell in love with Dress Warm last year as they were prepping for the release of A Cowboy on Ice; it’s been only a few short months, and there is already a fresh EP in the works for fans like myself. Having spent a lot of time with their last release, one can easily hear the charms of modern guitar pop going through the core here, though I’ll say the intricate nature of the guitar work this round seems to have leveled up. That said, there’s something frivolous in the way they approach this track; they seem to be so carefree, all the way down to the accompanying video. If you’re looking for a special little pop nugget, then might I suggest jumping right to the 1:13 mark? Stepping Away will be out on May 6th.

Dress Warm Release A Cowboy on Ice EP

Leave a comment

We’ve been keeping a close eye on Dress Warm over here, as the band are an upstart act from our home; they’ve just released their new EP, A Cowboy on Ice. The one song we hadn’t heard as of yet is the nicely strummed “Close,” which wraps up the four-song listen. It operates on a nice little bedroom beat and gentle strum, but then it bursts into life, albeit momentarily as the group pull back to really hit those warm indie rock notes that make guitar pop so enjoyable. I really appreciate the band maneuvering back and forth in this track, mixing up the pacing, allowing the song to really swell into something lasting. Here’s “Close,” but be sure to check out the whole EP.
