Lo Carmen – Everyone You Ever Knew (Is Coming Back To Haunt You)

Lo Carmen – Everyone You Ever Knew (Is Coming Back To Haunt You)

Airy and whimsical, Lo Carmen sings to the music. Her playful sound gives her album a magical counterbalance to the repetitive and sometimes resigned rhythm that provides the background.

She speaks conversationally, accenting seemingly at random with a delightful effect resulting. It is insistent but not demanding. Several steps ahead of the listener, she dances vocally––moving this way and then not all before taking a few more steps ahead, independent and yet respondent to the consistent drums and often despondent guitar.

Carmen is lovely to listen to, giving the impression of minimal polishing, instead performing the songs just as they are. Spontaneous and individual, the combination of sounds intrigues and interests.

Ethereal and magical, childish and haunting, Everyone You Ever Knew (Is Coming Back To Haunt You) gives life to stories that may not otherwise exist. (SP)
