Riff: Boardwalk – “I’m to Blame”

Aug 7, 2013

It doesn’t matter how we try/We can’t get it right/You and I are not the same/And I thank god to blame

from I'm to Blame lyrics by Boardwalk

It would go against all instinct not to draw a line between Boardwalk and Beach House. Both find solace in whimsical landscapes and dreamy vocals, and both like to play with ambiguous lyrics. There’s not much to be terribly excited about, but as a lead single it’s a solid start; [LISTEN].
