Houston Ambient Artist, Versal, Releases New EP – ‘Self-Titled’

Houston Ambient Artist, Versal, comes blazing out of the gates with his surprisingly first musical release, ‘Self-Titled. Here’s our track-by-track thoughts.

Kicking off with the first track, “Eternal”, Versal opens with feelings of bliss as the tranquility stemming from the piano opens a new window of peace in which listeners are able to retreat into. The second track, “Flamenco en Culebra”, is full of global influence and meticulous care when it comes to the production style as Versal explores ancient realms of thought that are strung together through the art-form of music. “Dawn” is the third track that slows it down and leads listeners into a pool of wonder as instrumentals that shed light on the wonders of the natural world unfurl.

The fourth track, “Carrousel”, creates the feeling of adolescence as listeners are subconsciously inspired to dig into their core as Versal’s instrumentals elevate thoughts beyond the shore. “All Together” is the fifth track that sounds akin to a track from the Finding Nemo Soundtrack as Versal explores realms beyond Planet Earth. Closing out with “El Camino a Montserrat”, Versal creates the musical feeling of a walk in the park and the release of stress that leads listeners beyond the dark.

Creating music from the heart with the intent of spreading the feelings of glee that stem from tranquility, Versal overcomes the ego and pours forward from the soul throughout ‘Self-Titled. If you’re a fan of fellow musicians such as Dido, Bonobo and Thomas Newman, then keep an eye on the promising ride ahead for Versal on Soundcloud.

San Francisco Musician, CarnyMusic, Releases New Self-Titled EP

San Francisco Musician, CarnyMusic, is transcending beyond his roots as the Lead Vocalist of Western-Psych Band, The Green Door. Having recently released his new self-titled EP, it is evident that Mike Carnahan has set his sights on getting deeply in tune with himself through his artistry. Here’s our track-by-track thoughts.

Kicking off with the first track, “Riptide”, CarnyMusic creates an environment akin to one amongst a cozy fire in the middle of a cool summer night as the lyrical trajectory hits the highs and lows of a riptide of emotions that have hit him directly in the chest. The second track, “Beetle In The Sand”, is humbling as the opening abruptly jumps into a soft lyrical journey into our small places in this massive world through our individualism and flows into the chorus that serves as a reminder of the ever-changing weather that has been encountered between two lovers. “Start Another Week” is the third track that lyrically speaks of the common attachment to a life of work and never slowing down that is poisoning the human race as CarnyMusic gently dabbles into the thoughts that have left his mind racing. Closing out with the EP highlight, “Close Your Eyes”, CarnyMusic lyrically carves into the remaining pieces of a tarnished love that still seems to linger in the air no matter the alternating experiences that each individual encounters on their own.

CarnyMusic embodies both his masculinity and femininity in a balanced way throughout his self-titled release which ignites the emotive element of the music. If you’re a fan of fellow musicians with depth such as Bright Eyes, Sufjan Stevens and Sun Kill Moon, then keep an eye on the ride ahead for CarnyMusic on Soundcloud.
