Our Take

JACKEN ELSWYTH's latest album, "At Fargrounds," is a whimsical journey through the nostalgic fairgrounds of yesteryear. Elswyth, a self-proclaimed circus enthusiast, brings a charming mix of folk melodies and carnival ambience to the forefront in this delightful collection of songs.

From the opening track, "Rollercoaster Romance," to the hauntingly beautiful ballad, "Ferris Wheel Waltz," Elswyth's evocative lyrics and ethereal vocals transport listeners to a world of cotton candy clouds and spinning teacups. It's like stepping into a sepia-toned photograph from a bygone era, complete with calliope music and the scent of popcorn in the air.

The album's instrumentation is equally enchanting, with accordion and glockenspiel weaving in and out of each track like acrobats performing a high-wire act. The production is top-notch, capturing the essence of a bustling carnival at dusk, with just the right amount of whimsy and melancholy.

Standout tracks include the infectious "Carousel Carousel" and the dreamy "Tilt-A-Whirl Dreams," both of which showcase Elswyth's knack for crafting catchy melodies that stick with you long after the music stops. Overall, "At Fargrounds" is a delightful romp through a musical funhouse, guaranteed to leave a smile on your face and a skip in your step. Step right up, folks, and take a ride on JACKEN ELSWYTH's magical musical merry-go-round!
