Review: 'CARLSON, DANIEL'
'Me You You Me'   

-  Label: 'Folkwit Records'
-  Genre: 'Pop' -  Release Date: '7th April 2014'

Our Rating:
Daniel Carlson was raised in Chicago, but now lives and works New York and Amsterdam.

This is the singer songwriter's second full length album.

Influenced by soft rock from the 60s and 70s, it is laid back to the point of being horizontal and is sung in the kind of fragile voice that is only barely in tune.

The album has a lazy psychedelic glow but the effect is more Barry Manilow than Pink Floyd.

Carlson says "I tell my stories using fairly unspecific language" which would explain nonsensical lines like "she thinks in all tomorrows, she's gone beyond repair" (I Can See It).

Being devoid of passion or urgency, it's like a set of sad slow show tunes for a tired Broadway musical.

The cover's awful too.
