| The sound created by Carina and her band
is an intriguing mixture, as the track 'Lacuna' signifies, featuring
a slow piano lead introduction before things take off a cacophony
of noise created by crisp guitars and percussion, and then slowing
down again. It is a bumpy ride in which Carina's terse and dark lyrics
really hit home as you sense the anger rising to the surface:
"You're just looking for an excuse
to call yourself a f**ker, look at her without the burden of what
it is that you live for. She'll still be here when you carnival
is over."
The impact of the aforementioned angry tune is
softened in the following track 'Paris', which conveys the message
that there are beautiful things and people in the world. This album
explores a range of topics and emotions in a heartfelt manner. Having
toured with the likes of Coldplay and David Gray this young Wolverhampton
wordsmith has won many fans already, a trend which this latest offering
is ensured to continue.
