Kaiser Cartel Going Soph
04/08/2010
.
Boy-girl duo Kaiser Cartel will be following up their successful debut album March Forth with a darker, more experimental collection entitled Secret Transit (June 8th). Produced by Matt Hales (aqualung) and recorded in an old folkloric church around London, the styles and sounds explored on this album run the musical gamut – from the road trip-perfect first single "Ready To Go" to the Kate Bush-evoking ethereal opening track "Riverboat Dream" to the melancholy folk-tinged "Minefield," there is something for everyone. Courtney Kaiser and Benjamin Cartel began writing songs together in 2004, creating a musical partnership crafting luscious harmonies and infectious melodies. Prior to forming Kaiser Cartel, Courtney toured as a back up singer for John Mellencamp and both of their desires for creative variability currently finds Benjamin additionally fronting his self-titled side project band and Courtney occasionally moonlighting for Sean Lennon's band as well as lending her vocals to choral arrangements on the upcoming Sufjan Stevens' album.
