Nov 17, 2011Tanton's strengths are his ear for hooks and his brassy vocals, which lift the choruses on Freeclouds to billowy levels of '70s radio-pop splendor.
-
Dec 2, 2011Freeclouds seems to be a culmination of many different ideas and styles all brought together in one album, and this diversity of sound is exactly what makes the album work so well.
-
Dec 20, 2011Even with such varied ideas, Tanton maintains a careful balance, resulting in a fully realized album.
-
Nov 16, 2011Freeclouds has a little more up its sleeve than either a clear break from Tanton's past or a simple extension of it.
-
Dec 8, 2011All these twists and turns threaten to render Freeclouds a somewhat scattershot affair, but somehow Tanton manages to make it all cohere.
-
Dec 5, 2011Freeclouds is an impressive set start to finish, and one of the most satisfying pop records you're likely to hear this fall.
-
Nov 16, 2011Carter Tanton -- of the now-defunct Tulsa and still-thriving Lower Dens -- style-jumps so restlessly that his second solo disc sometimes feels like a multi-artist playlist rather than a one-man show.
