In 2010, during touring breaks
with Bon Iver, Sean Carey (vocals, percussion) recorded his debut solo record, All We Grow, under the stage name ‘S.
Carey’. All We Grow was an elegant
record showcasing Carey’s skills as a percussionist as well as a pianist and
songwriter. In 2012, S. Carey released an intriguing EP titled Hoyas that focused on a more electronic
sound, without going overboard. It was announced that his first full length
studio album, titled Range of Light,
will be released on April 1st via Jagjaguwar. With the announcement of the sophomore album,
S. Carey released the track “Fire-Scene”.
“Fire-Scene”
features intricate finger-picking with soft piano fills and Carey’s beautiful
vocals. “On and on/ all I want is honesty”, S. Carey sings, and I feel a sense
of honesty coming from this track, and most likely this record. Carey’s music
is honest and compelling, streaming from the woods of Eau Claire, Wisconsin. I
look forward to hearing Range of Light
and am curious to see if Sean Carey combines the acoustic sounds of All We Grow and the intriguing
electronic elements of Hoyas.
