Sweet acoustic folk music, an echo-filled space for the purity of a live, unedited capture. The title and initial soundwaves of Carlos Sison’s new EP reflect beautifully the authenticity and raw emotion of what lies within Sketches #1.
Watering Hole is the intriguing opener – a huge arena of reverb, a feeling of moving quickly but gracefully from intimate to vast, and a compelling lyrical scene and aura, which guides us gorgeously into the more softly picked and perhaps hopeful though uncertain Will I Ever.
In a time when AI is turning everybody into a ‘musician’, genuine projects like this mean more than ever, and Sketches #1 feels like something that was genuinely written, performed and recorded as a means of healing or understanding for the artist. A therapeutic process, which shines like a secret light – stumbled upon in the darkest of times.
Carlos Sison is a talented acoustic musician, with a nostalgic vocal quality, and a realness to his recording style that completely stops you in your tracks.
