About Me |
|
| Carl Platou is the mystery man. He combines the nightrock a la' Velvet Undergound with the college-rock stylings of R.E.M and the result is, somehow, sublime. Carl is here to rock and poet it all over the place.
His debut album Frozen Eve is available now from Amazon.com and all good records stores.
The Press: “Carl Platou’s Frozen Eve full of warm emotions. The “dark” title he is given is prominent in his songs like, Pearly Gate, which begins with lone guitar picks taken straight from a spaghetti western movie like High Noon, as Platou delivers “Someday we’ll make it...open the pearly gates!” as bell chimes are played overhead. It’s really clever stuff. I Go With the Sun, a power house of haunting guitars, piano, cello, and what sounds like a harpsichord. “I go with the sun by my side,” Platou moans, “I go with the sun.” When the song is finished, you’ll swear he has.” Student Voice ”The beauty of Platou’s voice is its slow delivery, wide pronunciation, traces of a continental English accent, variation in timbre and his ability to use these elements to create a thrilling singing persona.” The Oberlin Review “Norwegian singer and songwriter Carl Platou shows promise in his debut album… with songs that deal with love and life in a poetic way” The Arrow "Platou sings about conventional things like parting loves, good wine to drink, smoking cigs, and having hot coffee to keep you warm and awake… Frozen Eve is full of delightful melodies and charming solos."
