Recent Victory Records signing Carousel Kings have released ‘Here, Now, Forever,’ via Alternative Press. The track, from the upcoming album “Charm City,” showcases a more serene side of the pop-punk band, a sonic change partially inspired by flotation therapy. “It’s got a really different vibe than we’re used to,” explains guitarist Will Barovick about the song. “I think the floating definitely tied into that.” “Charm City” will be released on February 10th, 2017.
“‘Here, Now, Forever’ emerges from the deepest depths of the minds, heart and soul of the band members,” says singer David Alexander. “With the inspiration of flotation therapy, it is the purest and most genuine emotion the band has ever released to date. One of our favorites to play live and listen to, we hope the rest of the world feels the same and can find some sort of connection with it.”
Take a closer look at Carousel Kings’ creative building process in the mini-documentary ‘Floating For Solace.’ The single and mini-docu can be streamed/seen below.
The concept behind the artwork was envisioned by famed visual designer Archan Nair, known for his collaborations with Kanye West and Lindsay Lohan. On the album cover, Alexander states, “The idea is a floating emerald city meets Neverland meets an Atlantis type place. A place you always have the urge to go back to because as beautiful as it is, the mystery is forever and it’s an everlasting escape. There is only one road to the city, and it’s in YOU.”
The first run of dates have been released as Carousel Kings will be on the road in support of “Charm City” throughout 2017.
