Three guys meet at college and start a band. Happens all the time. I guess it’s a little different when the college is Boston’s Berklee College of Music. From the opening of “Get Up” I was hooked. The catchy riffs, dreamy synths, and gentle vocals quickly lulled me into a dance coma. Delicate dance music would be my best shot at defining Carousel’s EP 26 Allston. It was actually pretty tough to decide what to post from the 6-song release but I finally decided on “Get Up” and “The Thrill”. But with the hand clapping fun of “Know It’s Right”, floaty pop of “Best of Me”, addictive vocals of “Games”, and soothing melodies of “Here Now” the entire EP is great…oh yeah and it’s free from their website HERE.
