Free Music Notes for Carnival
Free Music Review: Disappointment
Hit: 2 Stars
I saw Kasey Chambers play at SXSW in 2001 and couldn't help rooting for her. She seemed so humble and truly in awe of being in the spotlight. Her album, The Captain, was nice and catchy, but nothing monumental. All in all, I thought a decent folk pop artist was about to hit the big time. After being a fan of that album and Barricades and Brickwalls, I was excited for Carnival. Unfortunately, it is a huge stinker. It is hard to write a review because I have only listened to the album a couple of times - that is all that I can take. The music is, as others said, very bland. It sounds like mid nineties radio rock - third stage Lilith Fair schlock. Chambers overdoes the "Betty Boop" voice on this one, too. Light a Candle is a sad Fever imitation, not a sleak new direction. I hope Kasey reverts back to her old ways on future albums or at least sounds good if she takes off in a new direction. The only reason I am giving this album two stars is because I am still rooting for Kasey. However, if you are thinking about buying this album, make sure to listen to it first!
Carnival Poster
Kasey Chambers' fourth solo album, Carnival, marks the singer-songwriter's most contemporary, edgy and rocking album to date. This Carnival is worth the price of admission.With her fourth album, Australia's Kasey Chambers is expanding her realm. There are bigger sounds, including a flurry of electric guitars, and she has winningly created a whole new set of mysterious tensions. Eschewing the softer sound that had defined her earlier work, Chambers' innocent sounding voice is now set against a world of shadows and acute angles. The band also eases into a range of sophisticated grooves, from the noir-infused "Light up a Candle" to the barn burning "Got You." Chambers can still churn out catchy melodies, which she does at every turn (the chorus to "Sign on the Door" is unstoppable), though she keeps them from ever becoming cloying. Also with the expansive arrangements there's a dynamic quality to the album as a whole, as density gives way to open spaces. Indeed, Carnival is an apt title for this three-quarters of an hour that is filled with bright colors, movement and surprise. --David Greenberger
