After spending much of the next five years playing in various downtown rock bands, he withdrew from the scene to rethink the route his musical life had taken.Carlson's latest effort, 'Aviary Jackson', is his first full length release. Produced by Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan, Yoko Ono), It features appearances by Glenn Patscha (Ollabelle), David Myhr (the Merrymakers), and more. Recorded in New York City, Chicago, and Amsterdam, the songs represent the culmination of two years of close collaboration by Carlson and Leonhart. By turns epic, intimate, joyful, and heartbreaking, it's a record that takes the listener on a cinematic musical journey.
