Why do we like this?

Props to Hilly Dilly's Chris Danks for uncoveringthis treat by newcomers Mexico City Blondes.

"Fade" begins with bare, stripped instrumentation, slowly building toward a crescendo that beautifully highlights the balanced female vocals.

The band is a collaboration between Greg Doscher and Allie Thompson, based out of Santa Barbara. If you're digging it, you can grab a free download over on Facebook.

By Jason Grishkoff on Jun 5, 2016 | Lail Arad's "Milo" took a little while to win me over, particularly given the unchanging and somewhat repetitive intro.
