Over the last few years, the aloof musical mad scientist Brett Carey has come and gone quietly dropping experimental pop gems on listeners with each appearance. After spending some time away, Carey is back, joined by his wife Elise, with two new songs "Two Friends" and "Anamatic" for their new project Lamp Noise.
The first track, "Two Friends" builds on itself from a single guitar and vocal to a full-blown woozy symphony. It's expansive instrumentals allow for Brett and Elise's voices to twist around each other and grow until they are shouting. But, it's the single's b-side, "Anamatic," that really caught my attention. The track has this odd dichotomy between the lyrics and the song structure. The words tell a story about felling ill-defined - much like an animatic (a rough storyboard for a movie). The bones are there, but the details have yet to be filled in. All this set to a more traditional verse/chorus song structure, something Brett typically shied away from in the past.
Both of these songs are leading up to Lamp Noise's debut album Star Planet, which is to be released soon. As stand-alone singles, these songs are lo-fi pop jams, but I have a feeling that they add to a larger narrative in the band's debut full-length, so I can't wait to see how they fit in.
