The Carvels NYC Live at the Cutting Room” was recorded in May 2020 during the dark days of NYC's Covid lockdown. The band's original plan was to record the album in front of a live audience at legendary venue The Cutting Room. "Plan B" went into action with producer Freddie Katz and engineer Gerard Hoffman, and the band (Lynne Von Pang, RB Korbet, Brian Morgan and Steve Pang) recorded live onstage in a locked club with no audience (and minus saxophonist Trevor Galvin, who recorded his tracks remotely from Oklahoma). The album was mixed/mastered by Jim Diamond (White Stripes, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion) and the album was originally released for digital download in September 2020 on Die Laughing Records. A video for "Stay the Fuck Home" followed shortly thereafter. After a very negative experience with digital distribution, we removed our music from digital distribution so we could give it away free.

01 I WANNA BE WELL

We're excited to share our latest with you, Infinity. This song will be the last of the group of 3 that are more electronic. We will return on May 1st with our next original, which has a more acoustic texture. Be sure to follow us on instagram to stay up on our live edits. We are planning to drop an unplugged version of these last 3 songs as well. 

The instrumental was made from scratch, by Andrew for his Youtube Channel - Music Theory Logic. Preston vibed with it when he heard it and so the two wrote, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered around it. If you want to watch the instrumental being made, including the main sound in Serum.

Lyrics:You went barking up the wrong tree
Now I am stopping your monopoly
This time you won't receive the best of me
Unkind you were because that's your recipe

Take your hand but I'm taken down
To the depths of my insanity
Light this flame and burn me out
To the edge of my humanity
I can tell you're dangerous bet you'd never say it
I can see you're gaming that's why I ain't playing
Darker days are in the ground
So we're shining for infinity

I am loosing my mentality
So high I'm getting from your ecstasy
Don't mind if I come off as kind of mean
I'm fine but I still want you next to me

Take your hand but I'm taken down
To the depths of my insanity
Light this flame and burn me out
To the edge of my humanity
I can tell you're dangerous bet you'd never say it
I can see you're gaming that's why I ain't playing
Darker days are in the ground
So we're shining for infinity

Aaaa
Aaaa
Aaaae
Aaaag

Take your hand but I'm taken down
To the depths of my insanity
Light this flame and burn me out
To the edge of my humanity
I can tell you're dangerous bet you'd never say it
I can see you're gaming that's why I ain't playing
Darker days are in the ground
So we're shining for infinity

To the depths of my insanity
To the edge of my humanity
I can tell you're dangerous bet you'd never say it
I can see you're gaming that's why I ain't playing
Darker days are in the ground
So we're shining for infinity"

Thank you for rocking with us,

Infinity

This one is a return to our more organic sound. All instruments were live tracked. We went for an Americana sort of vibe. We hope you enjoy it! The track features Banjo and mixing from PG Banker, one of our long time collaborators. We love you all and are grateful for each and every one of you!

Lyrics:
"I've been on the road
Searching for my lost heart and soul
They've been on the move
The spectacle of life is something true
Hold me down and set me free
I'll find the way that it's supposed to be
Right as always when I'm wrong
Now I'm headed to the place where I belong

And we know that we won't always be around
We're getting lost getting high and getting found
There is so much left to see, so much air for you to breath.
Now's the time to find your sound find your sound find your sound

All these things that we've seen
Lessons from the past for future dreams
All this time if I had known
That darkness shines forever all alone
Keep me down but keep me sane
There's pieces of the world we can't contain
Once again I will show
That fires burn the brightest where it snows

And we know that we won't always be around
We're getting lost getting high and getting found
There is so much left to see, so much air for you to breath.
Now's the time to find your sound find your sound

And we know that we won't always be around
We're getting lost getting high and getting found
There is so much left to see, so much air for you to breath.
Now's the time to find your sound
And we know that we won't always be around
We're getting lost getting high and getting found
There is so much left to see, so much air for you to breath.
Now's the time to find your sound find your sound
Find your sound find your sound"

Cheers to music,
Andrew & Preston

"Mis versos te recuerdan, mi musa y mi amor
Y aunque el tiempo pase, no olvidaré tu esplendor
Una mujer que dejó una huella en mi existencia
La que alguna vez fue, y siempre será, mi eterna referencia

¿Cuándo volverás a mí, mi amor?
No me hagas decir tu nombre, por favor
Cuando te fuiste, me rompiste el corazón
No ha terminado y todavía puedo sentir el calor

En tus ojos vi el nacimiento del tiempo
Cuando sonreíste, el tiempo se detuvo
Ahora estoy caminando aquí solo
Ahora todo ha cambiado

Recuerdo cuando nos tocamos era hermoso
No tenía idea de que sería peligroso.
Lo siento pense que eras dichosa
Las cosas que no sabemos son poderosas

En tus ojos vi el nacimiento del tiempo
Cuando sonreíste, el tiempo se detuvo
Ahora estoy caminando aquí solo
Ahora todo ha cambiado

Aveces pienso
Contemplando los tiempos
Que tu y yo
Era álgo muy cierto
Tu cuerpo
Siempre conectádo a mi cuerpo
Ejemplo
Siento tu orgásmo no miento
Lo siento
Ciento veinte latidos
Rápido y lento
Hago el amor al instrumento
Renacimiento de tus palabras
Da luz a baladas
En la obscuridad
Tu me alumbras el alma
Calma
Tu aroma Chanel y marijuana
No pasa nada
No veo, no hablo, no oigo maldad
Te quiero te amo me haces falta
Y ahora estoy caminando con tu fantasma

En tus ojos vi el nacimiento del tiempo
Cuando sonreíste, el tiempo se detuvo
Ahora estoy caminando aquí solo
Ahora todo ha cambiado"

Renacimiento feat. Tony Rokaz

"All of these simple things
They're so hard to say
All of these lonely nights
Have seen better days
If I could try again
I'd tell you I would
My hearts been wearing thin
Don't tell me it should

Why does the sky continue calling?
Why does the moon still say your name?
Why are the times that I have fallen?
The only moments I've felt sane

Where do I go from here?
When it's me versus doubt
Just take me back seven years
To times I still felt.
All of these moments now
Have gone with the wind
But stars signs and omens tell
Me I'm gonna win

Why does the sky continue calling?
Why does the moon still say your name?
Why are the times that I have fallen?
The only moments I've felt sane"

The Sequel to Spooky Halloween Christmas with a horn section!

Spooky Halloween Christmas Too

I had a great time doing this remix! Shoutout to Pip for writing a killer song and to @saulz_music for mastering it! 

Lyrics:
"Valentines is round the corner
It's a money based affair
Still somehow I'd feel warmer
If I had someone there

I wish someone would break my heart just so I could feel something
Then I'd make it into art and friends would relate to it

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one

I know I'm worth somebody's time
After nineteen years you get tired
Of all the songs on the radio about love
So this one's not

I'd love to trust somebody like a tree's trust in the ground
Or hold somebody close to me like air holds onto sound
I know I'm supposed to feel ashamed of loneliness at heart
But I just can't bring myself to blame me for feeling lack of love

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one

All the songs on the radio are all about love
What about those of us who have no one"

Cheers to music, any support you show is greatly appreciated!
Your friend,
