OVRLD Exclusive Track Premiere: Bleached Roses “Can’t Catch Me Now”

You’ve likely seen Lexi Cardenas on stage at some point in the past several years– she’s one of Austin’s most sought after violinists, performing with acts as diverse as Mighty Mountain and Scott Collins, as well as her main project the Bleached Roses. Cardenas’ solo material often veered towards the baroque, particularly on her startling and ornate cover of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box.” But since renaming her main project Bleached Roses rather than “Lexi and the Bleached Roses,” Cardenas has shifted towards an energetic indie pop sound emphasizing the connection of the entire band, particularly on new single “Can’t Catch Me Now.” The lush and romantic single would be right at home on 4AD’s early ’90s roster, with its yearning strings and sweetly rousing vocals. It’s a perfect marriage of Cardenas’ orchestral ambition and her Mighty Mountain era populism, showcasing the allure of her voice as well as the chemistry of her band. Check it out for yourself below and be sure to catch Bleached Roses on September 16th at Cheer Up Charlie’s for their EP release show benefiting Out Youth!
