Carl Barât - Carl Barat

2010 solo debut from the former Libertines and Dirty Pretty Things member. Recorded in London and mixed in New York, the result is a departure from Carl's previous releases, but maintains his ear for melody. The album allowed him to work with new people and try new musical ideas. The result is a very honest and heartfelt record, with upbeat tales of friendship and laments for lost love. Opening track 'The Magus' has a magical music box feel to it, 'Carve My Name' is awash with strings and 'So Long My Lover' is uplifting and joyful, despite being about the end of a relationship.
