    very simple but poignant. something for someone looking for a more stripped down yet soft, intimate sound.

  1. The majority of Carousel just plain sounds the same. It might as well be the same pace, might as well be in the same key, might as well be the same vocal melody over and over; it's a carousel if there’s ever been one.
  2. Carousel Waltz is an extremely personal album, sublimely disguised as a sweet bit of pop fluff.
  3. Carousel Waltz drives a pretty flat road, without the peaks and valleys of their previous work, but that suits the grounded emotions and realizations they're addressing, skirting the line between the unaffected and mundane.
