Tag archive for "Carousel"
LA synthpop duo Carousel are back with what may be their best work yet, which is saying something about the up and comers who have been dominating Hypem and other music blogs for the past year. Lyrically the guys stay on common ground, driving off “Into the Night” with a new fling, but musically they have really tightened to basically hit nothing but that nostalgic sweet spot for 4 minutes. Great music for your hump day.
It feels like they’re getting better with every single released. Carousel is quickly becoming the master of soundtracking the summer fling. Every song makes you want to just disappear on a destinationless roadtrip up the PCH with a cute pair of sunglasses you just met. ”Not Enough” is no different. Pack a bag before you listen.
Carousel is quickly proving themselves to be one of the best up-and-coming synthpop acts in the game. They consistently create addictive danceable tracks never losing the somber air that set their sound apart initially. ”Wolf’s Awake” is just another brick in the heavy presence they’re building in the indie electronic scene. Help the guys out by hearting “Wolf’s Awake” HERE.
We’ve been falling over ourselves for Carousel’s warm brand of electropop for some time now. So when they released a new song I listened to it whilst typing up a post…didn’t even listen to it first. Few bands out there have impressed me with literally every single they put out. Anyways, “Another Day”, another gem. Not much more can be said about it. The guys stick to their basics while refining the elements that make them so good. Let it take you away. Enjoy!
I’m liking these guys more and more. Today the trio dropped their new song “Let’s Go Home”. The track is 25% nostalgia, 25% hopeful, and 50% synthy-awesomeness. Enjoy it here and head to their website to download.
New track from Boston electro-pop trio Carousel? Yes please. ”Where Have You Gone” carves the group’s unique niche in dance music a little deeper. Enjoy, it always goes down smooth.

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.
