Our Take

In the grand tradition of folk music, Kyle Carey’s latest album, "The Art of Forgetting," is a delightful romp through the Scottish Highlands, the American South, and everywhere in between. With her haunting vocals and intricate fingerpicking, Carey effortlessly weaves together tales of love, loss, and redemption.

The album kicks off with the rollicking "Suisghe Beatha," a rousing ode to the healing power of whisky. Carey’s voice soars over the driving rhythm section, transporting the listener to a cozy pub in the Highlands. From there, she takes us on a journey through the American South with the soulful "Leaving Philadelphia," a poignant ballad about coming to terms with your past.

But it’s on tracks like "Evelyna" and "North Star" where Carey truly shines. Her poetic lyrics and ethereal melodies create a sense of nostalgia that lingers long after the final notes have faded away. It’s clear that Carey is a master storyteller, using music as her medium to paint vivid pictures of the human experience.

Overall, "The Art of Forgetting" is a triumph for Kyle Carey, showcasing her talent as a songwriter and musician. With its lush production and heartfelt performances, this album is sure to be a hit with fans of folk and Americana music. So sit back, pour yourself a dram, and let Kyle Carey take you on a musical journey you won’t soon forget.
