Step into the dystopian eureka moment of Backstrom's brand new collaborative tune compilation with the enchantress Bark Topher, 'Dark Clouds' and this is bound to leave you speechless. A versatile creative who writes melodies alongside talented musicians who cater to genres like folk, country, and rock, Backstrom is a rising name in the music industry. After reviving his passion for music in 2023, he went through a phase of releasing a plethora of singles only to announce his much-anticipated album "The Carousel' in January 2024. With the previous album being an artistic success and garnering so many critical accolades, let's see what this one has to offer!
A surreal breath-taking fusion of the country's authenticity, emotions and artist's epic storytelling, this is everything life is made of and beyond.
We breakthrough into the album with a subtle yet hard-hitting moment of reflection with 'Dark Clouds'. A surreal, thought-provoking encounter of mellow beats and deep thoughts, this narrates a tale of endless good, bad and ugly of the artist's life that flashes before his eyes every time he looks up in the sky. Following a similar narrative, 'One More Time' questions man's inevitable tendency to take things for granted until there's nothing to hold on to anymore. A similar sense of void between birth and death is experienced at 'From The Ashes', where even when your faith is low you're asked to keep walking and face the storm.
'Daydreaming' as we discussed earlier, talks about the endless possibilities of escaping and the delusion thoughts that stuff up the artist's mind. 'Like The Night' is yet another fierce and pacifying moment of thorough observation, where nothing is left behind as everything succumbs to darkness and chaos. One relives their country dream with 'You and Me'. Shape-shifting from the general moods of the album, this track discusses the endless brewing of romance between the artist and his loved one.
Last but not least, we end this soulful journey with 'Tennessee', where the search for meaning has rightfully ended as the artist takes a moment to narrate his experience in solitude. Overall, this is a chamber of endless moods and reflections that will soothe your soul.
