Carriages - Like A Child
Tuesday 8th March 2016
They Say: “Like a Child began as recordings of sticks hitting plant pots. Around the same time, Aaron sent me a vocal recording he had made on his phone while taking a walk - which had the "Like A Child" refrain in it. I placed it into the plant pot drum beat and it worked really well. We took a break from performing last year to write a new batch of songs and Like A Child was the first one to come out of it. We wanted it to sound minimal and repetitive, like a dance song but still have an element of songwriting to it. We played it live with a different arrangement for a while and then went into a studio with The Late David Turpin who helped us polish off the final arrangement.”
We Say: “The perfect marriage of quirky electronica and hypnotic vocals – this is the first in a series of 2016 releases Carriages have promised and is their finest work to date. The beats and synths are sweet and subtle, the voice delicate and breaking. Just sublime."
Carriages are an experimental folk two-piece made up of producer Harry Bookless and singer-songwriter Aaron Page. Their sonics are inspired by the open spaces of nature and their single 'Like a Child' is officially released on 23rd March.
