Subtle, elliptical and ambiguous, Suppose is the debut full-length from London based duo Blue House. The album presents us with a world of haunted pop - songs about people just departed, places just left, and events just witnessed. It is a world in which an under-the-surface quotidian terror might make strange all sorts of objects: Playstation games, postcards, grasshoppers, euphoniums all find their way on to the record. The band in earnest probably began with a drunken duet of Patsy Cline's 'Walking In The Moonlight', sang on top of a rickety table at a house party in 2015. Something of that country sensibility remains in songs like 'Ear To The Door', that has Ursula and James harmonize a song about domesticity and wandering, a theme that resurfaces throughout the record ('John the Unready/had a little baby girl last night/now he's halfway across the countryside/saying something's calling me.')
