A new treat from Wanderhouse

With a newly-released third track, Wanderhouse is little by little revealing a very promising dreampop sound. The duo comprised of singer/songwriter Marie Moreshead and producer Doctor Rosen Rosen had previously released a song called "Use Me Up", as well as a cover of Ellie Goulding’s "Lights." The third track "Sugar" is appropriately titled, as it is dominated by sweet, powered soft vocals that intertwine affectionately with engrossing beats. The tempo is steady throughout and creates a ghostly environment filled with distant memories, but there is still a strong sense of being in the present. Morehead’s vocals are hushed, but the richness draws vivid imagery. Although the music is not exactly the same style, Wanderhouse shows the proficiency of a band like Beach House. Their sound is romantic and hazy, but the songs are well planned out as to not lose the listener. By the end of each song, the listener is left with a lasting feeling. Though three songs is a really small taste, it seems that 2013 will bring more from this duo, as they are currently studio working on new material. – Karla Hernández
