Carbon Carousel

about

Even if it could be debilitated, it's teeth are already lodged deep enough to rip a healthy piece of the empire apart as it falls. Carbon Carousel's untamed, unpolished, unapologetic and ravishingly abrasive sound is more of an attack on your whole psychosomatic network, than it is something to nonchalantly listen to while you do the dishes. Starting out purely improvising in a free jazz-meets-freestyle rap-meets-noise rock-meets-anything they feel like playing at the moment-frame, Carbon Carousel has expanded and refined their ideas of compositional improvisation into songs, and sketches there of, that explore the dynamics of all feeling, never sacrificing intensity for appeal. With Jeremy Ylvisaker's biting guitars screeching through layers of feedback, Casey O'Brien's heavy stomach punching bass, J.T. Bates' overtly manic drumming, and Micheal Larsen's 'out of his face and into yours' vocal delivery, you get the melodic and the dissonant, the loud and the soft, the joy and the pain, the panic and the reserve, and the collective attempt to smash a hole in the petty, contrived, edgeless core of modern pop music. MICHEAL LARSEN-VOICE Soaking up the hip hop of the late eighties and early nineties, Micheal found a means of expression that not only rebelled against the function of society he was growing to despise, but also encouraged self exploration. He began freestyling at age twelve, and by the time he was fifteen, he was winning M.C. battles around the Minneapolis/St.Paul
