Dress Warm share wistful new single ‘Louisiana Purchase’

Austin-based indie bedroom pop trio Dress Warm return with their latest single ‘Louisiana Purchase’, a sun-faded lo-fi gem that captures the bittersweet realisation of giving too much of yourself away for too little in return.

Blending hazy harmonies à la Good Morning with the raw, lo-fi intimacy of Tyler Burkhart, Dress Warm craft a sound that feels tailor-made for 4 AM soul-searching or golden-hour drives home from the pool. The band—born from the instrumental division of Hall Johnson—continue their DIY exploration of internal landscapes set to warm, nostalgic textures.

‘Louisiana Purchase’ draws its title from the historic 1803 land deal, using it as a metaphor for one-sided relationships that seem worth it in the moment, but reveal their cost over time. Romantic or platonic, the song reflects on the ache of undervaluing yourself—and the clarity that follows.
