Daniel Carlson - Me You You Me

On this record you can expect to hear the style of someone not far removed from the likes of Beck through to 70's era Floyd, and Sean Lennon.New Yorker Carlson comes over pretty cool on record, in fact he's about as laid back as they come, yet he still hurts and introspectively manages to take on the everyman role by tapping into the essence of the modern 20 something condition in the free world hence the resonant title of this record, as he delves into the philosophical connotation of relationships with lovers, partners, wives and husbands and quite probably everyone else too. This is what dream pop is all about.The sound is a honed and refined version of his debut. It is soothing and introspective, awash with atmospheres but with the occasional jaunty hint at 60's psychedelia. If you let it, the music will plumb melancholic depths but at the same time, it could be a soothing cloud ride into a dream world.
