Pre-Order: Villagerrr * Carousel [New CD]

A dynamic new chapter in villagerrr's discography, Carousel, Mark Scott's fifth album as villagerrr, glides from slowcore to shoegaze, from log-cabin folk to the accelerated bliss of rock tailor-made for an empty freeway. The boldest and most delicate album to date from the Ohio songwriter, Carousel is a sweeping exploration of what it means to try to make sincere art in a hyperexposed and constricting age, where Scott's big, midwestern songs smolder with a desire to find enduring meaning.
