BLSHS - Abstract Desires (EP)


Intrducting BLSHS (pronounced blushes), a Houston-based synth-pop trio comprised of Michelle Miears, Rick Carruth and Chris Gore. BLSHS combine a southern twist of 808-heavy beats, lush synthesizers, and hauntingly powerful and heartfelt vocals.



BLSHS have just released their 6-song debut EP entitled, Abstract Desires.

The first single from the EP, "Blushes", sets the tone with its roaming bass line, ambient synth accents, and drums your sub-woofer would be proud of. "Blushes’" soft and stirring vocals describe a state of emotional uncertainty that is both engaging and relatable.

Up-tempo tracks "Chased by Memories" and "Another Tuesday" offer intricate instrumentation, dance-worthy beats, and candidly poignant vocals. Relaxing the album’s pace to a slow groove, "Gave It Away" offers riding bass lines, smooth synths, and lyrics that tell a story of lost love and the familiar imprint of emptiness that is left behind. Abstract Desires’ most danceable tracks, "If I Fall" and "Runaway" end the EP on a high note.

Closing the EP in epic fashion, "Runaway" is sure to get your feet moving. This song is highlighted by its four-on-the-floor drums, gleaming synths, and powerfully emotive vocals. BLSHS’ music evokes emotion that will grab hold of your heart and drag it to the dance floor.



Abstract Desires is out now on Synth Records and available on Bandcamp and iTunes.
