Carousel Club - Calling You
Carousel Club - Calling You
Following 2019’s grooving single ‘Sweeter,’ Melbourne guitar-pop outfit Carousel Club are back with their first release in two years. Their new treat ‘Calling You’ is a slice of polished psych-pop that combines swells of introspection with woozy keyboards and jangly guitars, and doubles as the first release from the newly founded Squinked Records.
Not quite a new band on the scene, having formed from a group of friends back in 2017, Carousel Club’s recently signing to Squinked Records marks something of a new beginning for the guitar-pop group. Following their well-received debut EP and a couple singles later, the Melbourne band takes familiar jangle-pop stylings and craft them into contemporary moulds with sun-drenched hooks, synth-washed rhythms and sweet melodies - similar in the vein of Caribou, Spacey Jane, Milky Chance.
Their new single ‘Calling You’ incorporates cooing vocals and sticky beats that float over a dreamy backdrop. There’s an incredible amount of character and life from the carefully layered sounds that surround the new track. With a blissful psychedelic gloss of their jaunty guitar riffs and chirping effects, the new track feels refreshingly modern and nostalgic at the same time - the perfect song to have on repeat coming out of lockdown.
You could say ‘Calling You’ is a rebirth of sorts for the band - a leap towards a more infectiously catchy, full-bodied anthem, but still holding true to their sound. Speaking about the new track in a press release, the band simply wrote “This is the start of something big, stay tuned.”
