If you haven't already checked out "Horses," the latest single from Laura Carbone's upcoming double LP, you can take Post-Punk.com's word that it's worth a listen:

"Navigating the balmy essence of summer, Laura Carbone’s latest single, 'Horses,' unfurls with a languorous, dreamy groove, an ambient backing soundtrack that sets the stage for Laura’s mesmerizing vocal delivery. Evoking the spectral ghosts of the likes of Sadé, Chrystabell and Elizabeth Fraser, it’s an anthem for the unbridled. 'Don’t hold on, wild horses,' it whispers to those in the know. 'Run with your wild horses.' It’s the very essence of your soul."

Thanks for the kind words,

The Underground Youth and Laura Carbone tackle a gorgeous Roy Orbison ballad.

"The combination of their voices is incredibly rich; Dyer’s resonant tones are the perfect base from which Carbone’s ethereal vocal can take off and soar. ‘Crying’ is particularly effective. By the song’s climax, the listener has been swept along on emotional currents and, buoyed by a transcendent choir, Carbone and Dyer deliver glorious, grandiose melancholy."

Four Roy Orbison classics re-imagined as ethereal and dreamy folk-noir.

"Taking the haunting cues from the original of “Crying,” The Underground Youth and Carbone’s vocals seem to circle each other in the depths of each other’s echo, while a cleanly strummed electric guitar and acoustic contribute to the melody of each track. This is most effective on “Love Hurts” where slowing the track down and and large amounts of echo really add to the emotion and pain in the lyrics."

"Another highlight is their update of ‘Love Hurts,’ which they premiered in late October. But it’s their version of ‘Crying’ that truly stands apart, raw and piercingly visceral as it is, and layered with haunting atmospherics that give it an almost Lynchian aura."

"This duet of “Crying” will likely have you doing the same. Carbone’s rich, warm vocals play beautifully off of Craig Dyer’s forlorn bass, taking the familiar tune to new territory. It brings to mind the powerful combination of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, or Evan Dando and Kirsty MacColl, tackling a seminal classic with new understanding, wisdom, and earnestness."
