It’s funny how all the demos we’ve accumulated can change over time ... Sometimes the early versions & rough mixes that stick out the most now didn’t when we were making them, as is the case with ‘Habits’. 

We originally bounced this mix when we were still working on overdubs, but then we lost the project file after Chris spilled a bunch of coffee on his laptop.  We rediscovered this version while sifting through demos one night at our house a couple months later.

If we could reopen that file, I’m sure we’d find some shitty preset sounds, a guitar amp simulator on the vocal track, and tons of crude, approximate EQ and compression.   If we still had the Logic file, we'd probably want to change and rerecord a bunch of stuff.  In a way we’re thankful that this particular track is frozen in time, because if we had a chance to dive back into it, I’m not sure we’d be able to get into the right headspace to improve on it.  

After the coffee spill we started backing up all our files to de cloud, and we'll probably continue to exhaustively revise our current projects, but just this once it’s kinda nice to release something we never got the chance to split hairs over. 

“Habits" is the first song we’ve released where Chris (keyboard + guitar) sings lead vocals.  It's the first song off Loosies, a collection of demo versions & B-sides from the sessions for the Baby Blue Suede EP that came out last year.  Loosies is out 2/16, along with a deluxe cassette from Invertebrate Music.

This one is from January 2011 around the same time as a few of the EP songs. it's not exactly finished, the lyric is rough, but I still enjoy what it is and eventually this song lead to other tunes on the EP and on Shields that I'm happy with. It's a wintery New York song to me, it reminds me of home. And at this particular moment I miss home, and I feel like I should be there after all that's happened recently. So there it is.

Philadelphia’s Carroll (two R’s, two L’s) was born in late 2011 when frontman Brian Hurlow started composing melancholic pop songs that caught the ear of college classmate and drummer Charlie Rudoy. The lifelong musicians clicked and moved in together to a house on Carroll Avenue, coining the psychedelic, shoegazey-pop band’s name. After guitarist Max Kulicke and bassist Charles McClung came on board for the live show, Carroll started turning heads. Since the release of their Needs EP, they’ve become a mainstay on The Current, the Twin Cities’ triple A NPR affiliate station, and were named Best New Band by the two biggest local arts publications. In February of 2014, the band escaped the frigid Minnesota winter to Philly’s Miner Street Recordings where they cut the Carroll full-length in 17 days with the expertise of engineer Jonathan Low, whose albums produced for the National, (Mr.) Twin Sister,and Local Natives have reached critical acclaim and notable industry recognition. With Hurlow‘s subdued yet distinct vocals accompanied by Rudoy’s punctual drums and all-around alluring riff vignettes, Carroll’s self-titled debut will leave you bewitched. After a string of festival gigs this summer sharing stages with the likes of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Sylvan Esso, Polica, Low, Carroll heads out on a  month-long tour in support of their forthcoming LP.
