I know we have a whole new music Friday ahead of us, but I already feel confident in saying you won’t hear anything that sounds like Caleb Carnell’s new project SUPER FUN YEAR. The Kansas native has a ton of personality in your music with just the right amount of an in-your-face style that matches his grungy, off-kilter sound. His unique approach is best captured, and most effective, on the standout track(s) “L / Trunk.”
Carnell kicks off the experience with “L,” almost hypnotizing you with his growling flow that sways atop production from Lyrical Lemonade regular Tommy Newport and Adrian Bellaire. His voice and his knack for some slick one-liners really lull you into his energy, setting up perfectly for the epic beat switch into “Trunk.” Rounding things out, Carnell brings the energy up a notch atop his own frenetic boardwork. Even with two distinct sounds, “L/Trunk,” feel intertwined– like two-sides of the same coin–with Carnell’s heavy-handed delivery bridging the gap.
