Symbiotic Sounds - Mam Tak Samo

We are part discarded part desired 
We are part ignored and part admired 
We are from the dirt highly regarded 
We are we are yes we are we are 

Cut, clarity, colour - blood red 
Because I think the dream went to my head 
we are one and the same one and the same 
Covered in shame 

We are off the rails and right on track 
Cause we are silent 
When I say nothing say nothing back 
We are deaf dumb and blind to the fact 
That we are we are yes we are we are 

Cut, clarity, colour - blood red 
Because I think the dream went to my head 
We are one and the same one and the same 
Shame 

If what you're selling is irrelevant 
It really don't matter it's just simpleton idiotic monosyllabic chatter 
I've got no time - no time 
Because if you don't believe in Karma 
Then this is melodrama 
We're here we're gone 
Yeah we're just two drops in the sea 
And I've got no time - no time 

No time-no time there ain't no time-no time 

We are one and the same

Carousel:
It was Winter in 2011 when pianist Ritchie Bradbury and guitarist/vocalist Liam Chau established “The Vanishing Isle”, an acoustic act boasting an uncommon talent for songwriting and refined instrumental skill. However, they would not have dreamt to imagine this meek duo would ever evolve into the stage shaking upheaval that is now ‘Carousel’; currently brandishing a sell-out reputation as they burn their way through London venues including ‘Barfly’, 'Borderline' & ‘Garage’.

The addition of Myles Burgher, an inspired, rhythmic bassist and the electric Kyle Lowen on drums, confirmed what the founding two had originally presumed: that the ambitious songwriting had, from the beginning, required 
a full sound. The blend of keyboard, bass, lead guitar, yearning vocals and a pulsating drumbeat now combine to create a post-rock/pop ferocity, which is joined by elements of soul and classical as the band’s varied taste in music and instrumental faculties come together.

What is most notable about Carousel, however, is the camaraderie amongst its band mates and the desire, therefore, to channel their external dilemmas through each other and the music. There is a day-to-day angst resonant within every song, these emotions are laid naked on a guitar string and the effect is undeniable, every performance rumbles with bare vigor and honesty.

2014 now offers itself as the most exciting prospect for the band yet. Carousel have undoubtedly taken flight and are picking up speed with every packed-out performance. The questions surrounding the 4-piece now are no longer centred on the ‘if’ but the ‘when’.
