Brian Hurlow of Minneapolis Band Carroll talks about Recording New Album with Jon Low
Minneapolis 4-piece band Carroll has gained a lot of acclaim ever since they released their 2013 EP “Needs”. They were voted by City Pages as the best new band of 2013, and they’ve played a countless number of shows in Twin Cities since then, with other notable local and national bands alike.
Carroll released their highly anticipated debut full length self-titled album on September 18, 2015, and it has been praised by critics for its highly layered dreamy psychedelic pop. Music Director and long-time Carroll fan Sammich spoke with Carroll frontman Brian Hurlow about the band’s new album.
They talked about how the album was recorded and produced in Philadelphia by Jon Low, who has worked with big acts like The National, Kurt Vile, Sharon Van Etten, and The War on Drugs among many others. Sammich and Brian also talk about Brian’s songwriting styles and what is in the works for Carroll. Sammich also got all the details on a mysterious friend of Carroll’s named “The Wiz”.
