(BBI-014)

Written following a bout of heavy touring, eventual hiatus of previous incarnation EZTV and amidst the degradation of multiple relationships, the songs that make up 'Carousel' were culled from an obsessive trove of over 50 home recorded demos. Sounds oscillate from jangly meditations ("Turn the Time), drum machine fueled heart pangs ("Picture Taker), and the ethereal ruminations of a shut in ("Loud Sounds)". After tracking live at Brooklyn's Figure 8 Studios, guitarist Ezra Tenenbaum and drummer Michael Stasiak fleshed out knotty hook-filled arrangements at home with the help of a rotating crew of friends.
