Scarborough natives The Carps are back once again with two new singles – Bo Jackson & Kelly Gruber. Since their last release, Waves & Shambles in 2008, the band has been hard at work, with Jahmal (drums) playing alongside the likes of MSTRKRFT, and Neil (bass/keys) doing what any other musician does on their off-time – studying for his PhD.
But nevertheless, the duo pick up where they left off, with their unique brand of soulful vocals mixed with hard, trashing instrumentals to bring you a couple tracks dedicated to some almost-famous athletes on the cusp of stardom but fell to injury. Something that clearly hits home for The Carps.
“We almost made a living off music for a second. This is our swan song, our knee surgery, our post Cadillac-golf club tabloid moment. These songs, some of them four to five years old are likely the most honest songs we’ve ever recorded. And whatever the outcome, we’re just happy to be The Carps.” – Jahmal
The album will be released as singles, so be on the lookout for 2 singles a month from these guys for the next 6 months.
