Songwriting duo Bouquet treat ecomony as an asset and not an opportunity. The elemental intimacy of their mute soundscapes always seems like it’s on the verge of breaking free, as if you’re expecting that grand moment to arrive at any moment. It never does. There’s a gothic edge to the duo’s chilly, patient instrumentation, with singer Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs’s callous vocals tethered to Max Foreman’s gauzy, metronomic vintage synths. Their latest EP, In a Dream, is quiet and impalpable, conscious of its calculated makeup though willing to be found if you accept its cold embrace. It has a release date of March 10 via Ulrike/Folktale Records, and make sure to catch them performing an in-store at Origami Vinyl on March 8.
