Greetings,

We’re CARLS, from Charleston, SC. Below is our first single, “Dale, Wisconsin” out on all streaming platforms today. It’s a quirky rock song about the vitality of cultural discourse and diversity of thought. It also has several swears, odd mentions of a certain NY Times economist, some group na na na’s and a ripping guitar solo.

Give it a spin and let us know what you think.

Feel free to be effusively complimentary, completely unmoved or wholly dismissive. The world is your oyster. You do you.

Cheers,

CARLS

Thanks! Basic tracking was done at Coast Records with the always excellent Matt Zutell engineering. Overdubbing and extra production was done at home (modern recording technology is the best). Then everything was sent back to Matt for mixing. Matthew Garber at For the Record Mastering handled mastering. Big shout to both of those guys! They do really great work. Highly recommend!

New CARLS out today.

Big ass groove and a bigger chorus. Lyrically, its about all the silly shit you can do if you have money.

More singles coming and shows and parties coming up summer and fall. Stay tuned!

What silliness would you get into if you had a lot of cash?

Dude, just wanna say I’ve been listening to this stuff. It’s dope. I love how it brings the same sort of vibes as early 80s new-wave/mod revival. Good stuff. Dale, Wisconsin is my favorite so far.
