NEWS: Carroll Goes on Graveyard Jaunt in "Alligator" Video + Debut Album Out Now
Minneapolis four-piece Carroll is thrilled to release their self-titled LP as well as reveal an absorbing video accompaniment for single “Alligator”. The video is a perfect visual manifestation of their melancholic, psychedelic dream pop showing the band frolicking through a graveyard on a cloudy day, blissfully unaware of the death and decay beneath their feet. Director Jon Weisburst took a cue from Harold and Maude, giving the band a specific vision to chase, “the absurdity of the mundane in the face of death.” This duality makes for a flawless representation of the song’s haunting air while maintaining a light, dreamy feel.
Carroll has also just released their hypnotic debut LP via Entertainment One Music. Written in a cabin in the remote Northern wilderness, the initial demos found their way into the hands of producer Jon Low (The War on Drugs, The National), who had the band come to Philadelphia where they recorded and mixed the album in 18 marathon days. The result is a fusion of many influences: dream-psych, surfy reverb, post-punk echoes, and piercing vocals that meld to create Carroll’s distinct sound. This is an album that refuses to be defined.
Carroll delivers a magnetic exploration that is directed by the group’s musicianship and style, making Carroll as thoughtful as it is fun. Keep an eye out for an upcoming tour from the vibrant Twin Cities outfit.
