Our Take

Charalambides' latest offering, "A Vintage Burden," is a mystical journey through ethereal sounds and haunting melodies. The husband and wife duo, Tom and Christina Carter, have crafted an album that is both mesmerizing and unsettling in its beauty.

The album opens with the dreamy, lo-fi sounds of "Fading All Away," setting the tone for the rest of the record. Christina's haunting vocals float effortlessly over the sparse instrumentation, creating a sense of otherworldly beauty. As the album progresses, tracks like "Joy Shapes" and "Our Bed is Green" showcase the duo's ability to create lush, atmospheric soundscapes that transport the listener to another realm.

Throughout "A Vintage Burden," Charalambides expertly blend elements of folk, drone, and ambient music to create a truly unique listening experience. The hypnotic rhythms and sonic textures found on tracks like "Our Bed is Green" and "Time" are sure to mesmerize even the most seasoned music aficionados.

Overall, "A Vintage Burden" is a masterful display of musical prowess from Charalambides. Fans of experimental music and avant-garde folk will find much to love in this album. So, sit back, relax, and let the captivating sounds of Charalambides wash over you. Trust me, you won't regret it.
