With his new LP Devour on the horizon, Philly rocker Dave Hause released a new track from it this week. “The Shine” is a curious two-parter of a singer – begins all bold and rousing, not unlike Hause’s tourmates The Gaslight Anthem, but switches gears at the two-and-a-half minute mark for an extended coda that’s pensive, introspective and almost a second part of the song. It’s got a nice Leonard Cohen reference in the mix too – “I’m just a fool in the tower of song.” Good stuff; listen below. Devour is out via Rise Records on October 8th, the night Hause plays a release show at the side chapel of the First Unitarian Church. Details on the show can be found here.
