Carter Tanton "Freeclouds"

Carter Tanton - Murderous Joy


Formerly known as Tulsa and current member of Lower Dens, Carter Tanton has a new solo full-length "Freeclouds," follow-up to Tulsa's 2007 EP "I Was Submerged." "Freeclouds" (this album's title, reference David Bowie's "Wild Eyed Boy From Freecloud") is due out on November 1st via Western Vinyl. 'Murderous Joy' is the first track for the album.

Recorded primarily in his apartment (with the exception of "Horrorscope" recorded by Brian Deck), the record features a guest appearance by Marissa Nadler with whom Carter co-writed one song of her recent self-titled album. And it was mixed by Brian McTear at Miner Street (Shaking Through). Carter will be touring with The War On Drugs & Purling Hiss this fall.
