The Autumns

Le Carillon

Absalom

Cool smooth swing with a crooning sigh you could die for. This five song EP moves through melody like a velvet curtain in the springtime wind. Romantic and poetic with a touch of sadness, moving like a Chris Isaac sad song through a sea of quiet French pop and mellow nightclub jazz. Some violin that pulls you in, feeling like a refreshing dive into song after all the rock and roll that’s thrown at you. The guitars shimmer in liquid brightness, the drums smile, and though the lyrics are sometimes melancholy, you still feel like floating.
