S. Carey - ‘Crown The Pines'
Piano keys. Glass bottle percussion, a glockenspiel, an upright bass. Two, then three male voices running over and around one another like twisted roots. Then, the strings - and a pressing snare propelling the whole lot ever onwards, climbing higher and higher.
Crown The Pines is a song of layers; the kind you can listen to a hundred times and keep finding new details you missed before. It’s the first single from S. Carey’s brand new Range Of Light LP, available now. You might recognise at least one of those voices - when he’s not doing his own (amazing) thing, Sean Carey is the drummer and supporting vocalist for Bon Iver. As long as he’s making music somehow, it’s fine by me.
