I wrote about Passion Pit last year (here) after I heard their 6-song EP Chunk Of Change which was a stellar debut. And after listening to their first full-length LP, Manners, I can officially say they are the real deal. That said, they are a polarizing band, you may love em, you may hate em, but they are unapologetically unique and refreshingly exuberant. And for that, Manners is Carl Approved. It's not a perfect album, but perfection is boring. Give a listen. Some highlights: Little Secrets, Moth's Wings, The Reeling, Eyes as Candles, Folds in Your Hands, To Kingdom Come, Sleepyhead (also on Chunk of Change).
Fellow music lovers, we've come a long way from mixtapes but I still look back on those days with fond memories. In this age of information overload, Carl Winslow vs. Science is an attempt to cut through the crap and recapture that simplicity and magic of hitting the record button and handing the tape off to your friend at recess.
Every week(ish), I'll share songs, albums and videos across multiple genres -- sans fluff -- Carl believes music speaks loudest when it speaks for itself. And please, if you like what you hear, support the artists by purchasing their music, attending their shows and most importantly, sharing it with others.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions? Are you listening to something cool that I don't even know about? Drop me an email.
