What's The Story?
The Carps are a duo from Toronto who feature a bass player and a drummer/singer. Veronica Belmont is from their second EP, Waves and Shambles. Hopes are that they will release a full length album one of these days.
Who's To Blame?
The second best boozemaker I know, behind only my father.
Why ♥ It?
The two-piece garage-sound band is something I blog a lot about. The Carps aren't just another of those.
This track in particular showcases a different sound: the main sound is a frantically-played synth and the percussion. The synth passes the song off as electronica rather than rock band. The superraw sound of the ride cymbal during the second halves of the verses is great, as is the similarly unpolished sound of the splash during the choruses. The vocals are a draw; singer Jahmal is probably best known for being featured on two MSTRKRFT tracks for his unique vocal sound. Finally, at two minutes ten seconds, this song is almost too short, making it great for chain-listening.
Two-piece garage rock with an electronic twist: certainly worth a listen or twelve.
