carpe carmina's eclectic playlist - inspiring and euphonious music for everyone

Melodies roam, whisper into one's ear, enchant and captivate. Vocals sound, rise vigorously, stir and thrill with an alluring might. Jointly, both shape the glowing essence, the haunting euphony and rhythmic excitement music claims to combine. A dulcet harmony and vibrant atmosphere is brought into being, calms one's flustered mind, mends one's troubled soul, exalts one's imagination and titiliates one's senses, strikes a chord, affects and moves. Music in its charming and vivifying complexity bears the imprint of ease and serenity, of impulse and verve. All you need to do is, embrace and indulge.

When listening to the Fireflys' latest poignant creation of songwriting, 'Branches', one can't help but imagine sitting at a campfire, merging in the placid atmosphere of one's surroundings as well as of the song itself. Melodic memories of an early versionof the song flare up, tonally absorbing and imbuing already back then, however, now harmoniously complemented by Adele Halsall's smooth and passionate voice - the lead singer of pop/rock quartetChasing Infinity just recently joined forces with the soulful runcorn rock outfit, aiming to bring briskly melodious and emotionally evocative compositions into being. And with 'Branches' the band's calmly floating but powerful musicality is in bloom: Lee's husky and soothing voice stirs, whilst apollonianambient acoustic guitar serenades and rhythmically vibrant drummingblossom, whilst mellow harmonies soar and ardently dynamic guitarplay expands in a charming country-esque style. The song's lyrical narrationflows naturally, resonates stirring sentiment, remains minimalist though, shows a repetitive formula even, which does no harm to its gleaming emotionality at all. 'Branches' provides authentic and heartfelt music-making that prospers

Devil Sobi 
carpe carmina's eclectic playlist - inspiring and euphonious music for everyone


Sensitive and mellifluously radiant vocal charisma shines whilst light, nimbly struck chords and euphonious strings raise a luminous and languorous melody. Manchester based singer/songwriter Sobi (Thurairatnam) pours out warming emotion and velvet vocal vibrancy, crafts a composition so heavenly harmonious that the 'Devil' plainly can't miss the hint and vanish, leaving nothing but blissful and expressive music behind.

Ex Girlfriend Emma Harrop

Emma Harrop's strong and soulful voice is a blessing considering nowadays shortage of great female indie vocalists, and, in association with a symphonious synergy of perky pop characteristics and acoustic tenderness, one to linger on in a copious fashion. The former 'My Heroine' frontwoman combines feisty instrumental and lyrical dynamics, blends in atmospheric guitar vivacity and tensely pulsating percussion momentum - what she gets is 'Ex Girlfriend', an energetic song that captivates with vivid rhythm and catchy, candid lyrics, one that equally rocks with fervent vocal vigor

First PunchAli Ingle

Intelligent and imaginative compositional finery at its best: witty songmith Ali Ingle knows how to harmonize his hauntingly rasping vocals and his music's often debonair and jubilant, sometimes wistfully moving sound, in order to accentuate his poignantly bracing lyricism. 'First Punch' takes the same characteristical line and discloses as a cautiously arranged and blithely resonant, light-hearted and lyrically lustrous gem

Hauted By You Iain Till

What impressive tonal  impact a minimalist and mellow acoustic arrangement can have, shows Iain Till's deep-felt and ambient ballad 'Haunted By You', taken from his folk-focussed debut EP 'The Rise And The Fall': sentimentally melting and apollonian vocals join a calm, dreamful instrumentation, highlighted by nostalgic harmonica spirit and an opulently lugubrious string section episode.

 Richard Lucas (lead vocals/bass), Gary Yari-Gerrard (guitar/backing vocals), Richard Ormond (drums) & Joey Berry (bass)



Edgy and ardent vocals glimmer whilst vivifying and sonorously cadenced drumming flutters, whilst spirited and dimly oscillating riffage of frisky and funky reverb commands a constantly solid and dynamically moody composition. Undoubtedly, 'Different Beat' hits the mark with lovers of infectiously beat-driven, rhythmically diverse and jaunty musical verve

Just Another Girlthe broxton hundred


With refreshingly fiery and gripping vocal edge, with orotund and ludically thrilling riffage of lively levity, with energetically clangorous drum beats Broxton Hundred succeed in setting the tone - namely, a vivace and buzzy one
