We Are The Carousels
Добавлен 2 дек 2021
A band, there are four of us. We follow our own path whilst everybody else uses our name. We have come to realise that our work is more important to us than who has claims to a band name. To have been named so for nearly three decades suggests we have no plans to change it. To us, the name represents the time spent together. We are The Carousels and here you will find our work.
Voice of Thunder Live Version
In September 1994, 80’s school friends Martin Abonyi and Neil Richards started playing music in a room together. There was only so much that could be achieved with just a bass guitar and drum kit so they went out and found Neil T and Julian Lancaster who were apparently awaiting their knock at the door.
We still have a weekly sit down and this is what 30 years has done to the way we sound. It's funny how no guaranteed audience releases more creativity. Many popular bands stick to the same sound, afraid of rejection or depleted bank balances whereas this is what fearlessness sounds like. I would advise Coldplay and Oasis to give it a try it I thought they'd take any notice.

Blue Horizon Music Video

The Carousels released Blue Horizon today (July 26th 2024). The video is shot at The Round Emporium, Doncaster because that's where I met Earl Gunn and we became friends. Earl did not have the best of times here on Earth. He, like many others, did not cope well with what life threw his way. Earl was an intelligent, funny and unusually caring soul when I knew him. No matter how badly he treated ...

A Carousels Christmas Story

Christmas time comes but once a year. We made this song up one night when we were discussing the therapeutic qualities of being in the same band for 30 years. We haven't given the song a name as its fairly self explanatory.

We were nearly done, but then Neil's guitar led us out to sea, that's how it begins, who knows how it ends? (quick recording on the phone)

Just messing around with an old song of ours that nobody has ever heard. We might get around to doing it properly one day. The actual song is called Rise Above It, but we're just playing with it here, waiting for the other two to turn up for practise. Scribbles were done on the phone whilst stuck on a train

Just two of us this evening, going through some of our old favourites from the past three decades, this is Covers Blown from around 2017, recorded on my phone just for fun. Nature footage from Flamborough on the North Yorkshire coast, a stroke of luck whilst trying to capture the sunrise #owls #deer
Congratulations on 30 years! ...and keep 'em coming!
Great stuff. Nice vibe and super production. Love the video and chat at the end.
Love these little insights into the process of the magic that is The Carousels 👌🙂
😊
Give each other a handshake from me. 🙂
Hausmusik vom Besten. Ich habe auch mal in so einer Wohnung gelebt wo das möglich war.👍🤟🤟🤟
Es ist nur unser Haus
Video one of the best yet imho. Really professional look to it. The imagery of the crop fields and the white robed figures, has both a striking & eery quality. Sounds like being from the days of yore. Always surprising us 😊👍
Begrafenis lied.
The weather is gloomy, the situation in the country/world not much better. So, thank heavens, for a much needed & anticipated return of The Carousels 👌 Never predictable, they've opted for a suitably spooky video (for this time of the year) to match the songs eerie vibe 👻 The husky vocals add to the atmosphere ...... (Who knew Rossington was that spooky??!!) 🤭 Welcome back 😊 👏👏
Loving the inprov 👌 😊 the accompanying visuals have a Mighty Boosh vibe about them to me 👍 as Alan Partridge would say, "lovely stuff"
Just started Alan's latest book this morning, one of the opening lines refers to the forward being read by the right honourable Grant Shapps. Every line is hilarious, sorry I mean beautifully written 😂
If anything says "quality", it's a connection, however tenuous, with the wonder that is Mr Grant Shapps 👌 😏
I dig your effects on the video, quality.
Initial, laid back, melodic introduction 👌 Melts into, increasingly, stronger vocals ..... almost gospelly (? is that a word?!) 🤷♀️ in nature .... Before, easing off the volume, to a calming end .... 😊 Always look forward to The Carousels next offering. Love the trying of new formats of tone, timing, etc. As Mr Partridge would say, "lovely stuff" 👌😎
catchy ...... Like this.. well done :)
Somewhat slower pace from usual. More measured, if that's the right word (?) 🤔 Bit deeper ...... heartfelt ...... But, to quote Bob Mortimer, "it's a beauty!" 👌😊
Great song, fine harmonies and the lo-est fi I've heard so far this century! Bravo!
Great cover
Amazing❤❤❤
Great version gentlemen regards g g Boyle new Zealand rude boy
Thanks
As Alan Partridge would say, "lovely stuff!" Both the, rather catchy, melody and, the vocals, give the song a real charm about it 👌😊 the video is the icing on the cake. Always worth the wait for yet another Carousels classic 👍
