Ouisa Hound: Gloom Roaming

My body feels as if it’s caving in today. After months of working and never really putting anything on hold, I’m out of survival mode, diving head-first into the lurgy. A particularly grotty cold however can’t prevent ‘Gloom Roaming’, my first impression of Ohio’s Ouisa Hound, from exposing itself as the startling work that it is. Sky-reaching vocal samples give it a euphoric pulse, but the bone structure holding it all up rests with the overlapping layers of guitar-work, colliding to fill the air with an echoing sense of drama. Gorgeous.
