First came the music. An acoustic guitar to be exact. Interesting. Good falsetto. Then the symbol. Oooo, I like this… I really like this. Song over. Another beer opened. Then the litmus test– Another song. Yep. On board. A music video and another beer later I found myself tipsy and reading all that I could about Carrousel and their 3 track EP Dream. Which doesn’t prove to be much.

During the reading I stumbled across their Kickstarter page that had barely surpassed the goal of $3,000 to record the very project you may already be listening to.

From Tallahassee, FL Carrousel is a 2 piece band reminiscent of a less poppy more folky Freelance Whales with a hint of an airy carnival. As the story goes, the band set forth to record their debut album back in June of 2010 and along the way discovered something– a sound they liked better.

Sometime in February of 2012, you can expect their full length but until then sit down, have a beer, and enjoy Carrousel. You can download the 3 track EP here. Or stream below.

And video goodness.
