Produced by Carlon, Ross Petersen (engineer for Bruce Springsteen, Muse, John Mayer) and executive produced by Dispatch bass player Pete Francis, the 12 tracks on Johari Window recently prompted The Aquarian Weekly to note, "Carlon has Americana folk rock fusion down to a science.
They'll have heavy drum beat, rocking guitar solos, and harsh singing in one song, and the next will sound like a Bob Dylan-meets-Tom Petty ballad�they sometimes incorporate whatever they're listening to at the moment�that may be why some of the vocals sound like Modest Mouse and The Hollies' Clarke."
Recorded in a warehouse rehearsal space in Fairfield, New Jersey, Johari Window features the infectious single "Cantaloupe," an irresistible display of Beatles and Pink Floyd influences; a listen to the album's first three tracks, "Mixed Messages," "Cantaloupe," and "Where The Driveway Ends," reveals the band's distinctive delivery of original songs crafted out of their respect and admiration for some of the most powerful and influential music in rock.
"We're proud that we recorded the album ourselves in our own rehearsal space; we set out to create a specific atmosphere�we learned how to do that better than ever before�and as a result, the music we wanted to create just seemed much more possible," noted Carlon lead singer and rhythm guitarist Mike McWilliams. Carlon will be appearing in February at Arlene's Grocery and will also perform at this year's upcoming SXSW as part of their spring/summer tour.
