PREMIERE: Carriers Pay Tribute to Their Hometown of Cincinnati in New Video for “Patience”
NOW IS THE TIME FOR LOVING ME, YOURSELF & EVERYONE ELSE
Helping him lock in the sound of the nine tracks were drummer Bryan Devendorf of The National and bassist John Curley of The Afghan Whigs. A testament to the power of self-reflection, his debut evokes the same guitar-led grandeur of The War on Drugs as Kiser takes stock of life, death, relationships and gratitude for another day.
PREMIERE: Carriers Tap Into a Dream with “Another Guy” Video
Another Guy” is a shimmering, brooding and hook-driven bit of guitar pop, centered around a deceptively uptempo arrangement, and deeply personal, confessional songwriting — and in a way that recalls Dire Straits and Tom Petty but with an aching sense of heartache and loss
