Carousel “Don’t Let it Die” – Listen

Hard to believe but Carousel are a new band – on their new single ‘Don’t Let it Die‘ they sound just so assured – with harmony vocals zinging around over a perfect Summertime high energy folk-rock backing.  Glorious.  The four piece, based in Southend-on-Sea will be taking their music on the road in September.  They explain that the song is “an open letter to creative minds. Within the lyrics, we wanted to encapsulate the feeling of being inspired but misunderstood, as many of us artists are. Equally, we felt the need to reiterate how important art is to society. It is so crucial that art plays its part in people’s lives in times of political and social struggle, that they welcome it in and find some respite within.”.  Right On!
