In the span of modern music, not many artists can make you feel the same way, or travel you to the same places as Carlos. The visionary singer-songwriter, has once again shown mastery of creating immersive sonic experiences that cross genre boundaries, with the release of ‘Garden of Letters.’ From the first ethereal notes cascading over the listener, Carlos creates an atmosphere that is simultaneously nostalgic and utterly innovative.
At its heart, ‘Garden of Letters’ is a meditation on the duality of human connection: the beautiful and cruel dance between euphoric love and the bittersweet longing that constantly comes with both its subtle beauty and its small decay. The audio and video meld seamlessly together, with Carlos’ passion and delicacy to vocals giving the narrative depth of emotion that lingers long after the last notes have faded. A kaleidoscopic feast of a music video sees Carlos appearing in an eye catching red latex get up, against a surreal, otherworldly forest .This bold visual metaphor is a large and powerful callback to the artist’s insistence of pushing the bounds of creativity and the traditional way of making art.
The visuals are complemented by a production process that started with outdoor recording and the perceptive use of specialized cameras to guarantee that the whole project is imbued with intentionality and coherence. The end result is that ‘Garden of Letters’ feels like a living, breathing entity, which is a sonic and visual universe in and of itself, an invitation to become utterly immersed in its religious transcendence, in an age where music can feel in and through and about, but rarely for, such a long time. This is a work that should be experienced, savor, and digested: a descent into the profound and limitless workings of human emotion and creative genius.
