New Music (to me) from Nick Carswell & The Elective Orchestra
One of my favorite sounds, musically, is the combination of a gentle male voice juxtaposed with an appropriately matched female harmony, so I was lucky today when I came across Nick Carswell & The Elective Orchestra, a group that employs such tricks. The band released their album The Word not too long ago, but it’s just now making it to my computer, and I’m grateful for that. Just wait for the drums to kick in near the end of this song, rolling you towards the melodious end of the track. Sure, it’s an unassuming little pop ditty, but sometimes those are the best.
