belaire’s debut full-length, exploding, impacting is a slice of genius from a pie of awesomeness. with two members of our beloved voxtrot, belaire’s first real offering to the world is blissfully catchy with just a hint of hopelessness (just enough to remind us we aren’t dreaming this). pretty much you’re gonna dance and groove and shimmy and shake and smile and cry and HIGH FIVE YOUR FRIENDS. belaire will you by my girlfriend? “madison” is the embodiment of many emotions at once. “shadows moving on the wall” could be from a tim burton movie. just imagine me twirling around with freakish makeup and a tu-tu, smiling a very big smile and caring not a care. you are going to listen to this album all day long.
