Eli Carvajal Signs with Safe Suburban Home
I love when a label just falls in love with a record that may not fit our expectations, but still adheres to the label philosophy of releasing music you love, like the new pick up from Safe Suburban Home. They’ve mostly been playing with outsider pop like the new Autocamper LP (you should buy that!), but today they’ve announced the signing of Eli Carvajal, a UK artist that reminds me an awful lot of young Bon Iver. He’s got an interesting playing style using open tunings on an upside down right handed guitar (that he plays left-handed) so it creates this resonance in the notes that hits deep within your soul. There’s not too much else really added behind the strum and his voice, with only the slightest embellishment used, as there’s this clarity that sharpens the delivery, digging its hooks deep in the listener. Eyen Forever is out on October 3rd.
