Blanche July 12, 2008

In the city of Detroit, nestled among the garage-rock nooks and country crannies, lurks the music of Blanche. Husband and wife duo Dan and Tracee Miller trade intense and haunting vocals over an uneasy sea of pedal steel, banjo, raw guitar sounds and sparse, driving drumming. The moods created in the songs seem to define Blanche. Some songs are sad and pretty, while others have a powerful, spooky feel. The melodies trick you into singing along with tales of superstitions, garbage picking, fading trust and feelings of lost hope.
