What we say
 This record left our Maggie feeling happy.
Carta 'The Glass Bottom Boat' on Resonant. A melancholic instrumental with jangly repeating guitars and fluttering beats not unlike Hood. Moody and smoky it's an album for a hot bath as it builds with aural textures and shoegazy crescendos. Got geezers from Subtle and Charles Atlas in the line up. Track 8 Features some nice vocals by Sarah Bell which adds to the ethereal nature of this release.
What the label says:
The fruits of a lengthy process involving an ever-changing line-up
featuring a revolving door of San Francisco musicians, this is the
long-awaited debut from Carta, now with settled personnel surrounding core
member Kyle Monday.
Engineered by Beulah's Eli Crews and featuring Sacha Galvagna and Jared
Matt Greenberg (Charles Atlas) and Alexander Kort (Subtle) amongst others,
'The Glass Bottom Boat' is a remarkably accomplished album, as one might expect
considering the pedigree of those involved.
Having found a home on eclectic UK label Resonant, Carta's audience should
be broad and widespread, with their overall sound avoiding pigeonholes.
The album is mostly instrumental, predominantly downtempo but with
constant emphasis on melody. The title track features full vocals from
Sarah Bell, and sounds like the best thing Espers have ever recorded.
Packaged in lavish six-panel digipak.
