Alexander Carson - Ellipsism '2019

Tracks list

Alexander Carson is a neoclassical, downtempo, composer and songwriter based in
London UK. Carson spent the better part of 7 years as the lead singer, and
songwriter for genre-fluid quintet Wooden Arms. Forgotten is the answer to a
question nobody asked: What if Harry Nillsons one chord masterpiece Coconut was
written for gloom-core post-rock kids? The track layers a simple F# pentatonic
scale upon itself until it finally bends and allows the chord to change
culminating in a 1 take, semi-improvised, collaboration with long suffering
Wooden Arms member Alex Mackenzie. Recorded in one hour in a 4th century church
with a handful of microphones and even less forethought. Forgotten is taken from
the forthcoming EP called Ellipsism - a word taken from the Dictionary of
Obscure Sorrows : n. sadness that youll never be able to know how history will
turn out, that youll dutifully pass on the joke of being alive without ever
learning the punchline.Forgotten will be released digitally on Oct 26th on Round
Table Records.Ellipsism will be released as 12 vinyl in 2019 on Round Table
Records.Lovers is a perfect blend of modern songwriting and classical
musicianship. - Line of Best FitSounding at times like an Irish prayer and
others a bit Bowie-ish, but never dull or less challenging. - Where the Music
MeetsThe fragile vocals and piano playing are unmistakably Alex - a distinctive
timbre and delicate working of the keys that always reminds slightly of Anthony
and the Johnsons - Outline Magazine
