Such cohesion defines the Homuth-Mason transatlantic songwriting team who, to this day, has never once met.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHomuth brilliantly uses the economy of songwriting implemented by giants like The Beatles (“On The Best Day I Can’t Wait to Remember”) and Simon \u0026amp; Garfunkle (“Somewhen Else”) to guide his hand as he pens an undeniably personalized musical signature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 3\/4-metered album opener, “The Carousel Never Stops,” finds Oded Kaydar’s piano plucks and swells complementing Homuth’s voice in a fatalistic account of the circularity of existence. “Go a Little Easy” is quickly etched onto the list of the band’s most immediate indie pop gems with a soaring chorus, Beach Boys-esque bridge, and an understated trumpet solo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost Charlie records reliably present an array of sonic palettes with which Homuth recounts Mason’s profoundly touching yet clever verse: sprouting from the rumbling, atmospheric rhythms of “Hear the Leaves,” locked in step with the glockenspiel-punctuated “Things,” and causally recounted on the record’s sparse, loungy coda “Bricks.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlmost Charlie was formed in early summer 2003 when Homuth answered an Internet ad from Mason who was searching for a composer. Over the next 19 years the songwriting duo have written five albums with a strict division of lyricist and composer that brings to mind classic songwriting teams like Burt Bacharach and Hal David.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Carousel Never Stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGo A Little Easy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn The Best Day I Can’t Wait To Remember\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHear The Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Black Eyes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead Balloon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDinosaurs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTypewriter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomewhen Else\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThin Ice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBricks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Words On Music","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":67993193447700,"sku":"WM049","price":11.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"MP3","offer_id":67993193480468,"sku":"WM049-3","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1035\/0284\/0084\/files\/WM49AlmostCharlie-AWhisperInAWorldTooLoud_albumcover.jpg?v=1793919155","url":"https:\/\/primeunion.shop\/products\/almost-charlie-a-whisper-in-a-world-too-loud","provider":"Linden \u0026 Oak","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
