RSVP: Vanessa Carlton-Tomorrow at Largo!

[Ashley Bryan]

Hello,

Grammy-nominated artist Vanessa Carlton is playing Largo tomorrow, Friday, July 8th and will be previewing songs from her stunning new album, Rabbits on the Run, out July 26th. Let us know if you'd like to attend the show!

Rabbits on the Run is the most honest and uncompromised album Vanessa Carlton has recorded to date, revealing a striking departure and an exciting snapshot in the evolution of this exquisite storyteller and inventive musician. The album was recorded in the UK at Peter Gabriel's world-renowned Real World Studios with producer Steve Osborne (U2, B-52's, KT Tunstall, Doves). The album finds Vanessa returning to music-making its most organic form to create ten intimate, evocative songs, recorded directly to tape with her close-knit team of collaborators including Steve Osborne, Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket,  and Ari Ingber of The Upwelling (all playing on the album). Partly inspired by two books, Richard Adams' Watership Down and Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time,   Rabbits on the Run is 10-song set of gorgeous, haunting melodies and finely-crafted stories, including the lush first single "Carousel," the ambient and eerie "Hear the Bells" and the propulsive "London."

Early Praise for Rabbits on the Run:

"Vanessa Carlton again demonstrates her knack for pensive, piano-driven pop on 'Carousel' from Rabbits on the Run."
People Magazine

"Wistful, piano-led balladry, but there's a touch of darkness and complexity on display here that wasn't as apparent on her earlier hits.... she's certainly not just another sensitive girl with a piano...."  RollingStone.com

"Singer and pianist Ms. Carlton has long aspired to a different brand of pop stardom: less navel-baring ....and more melodramatic, heavily arranged pop symphonies." New York Times

"Carousel" has an undeniably comforting folk feel to it (think Regina Spektor or Feist), with a touch of Billy Joel in the piano part (can't be mad at that) and a hauntingly layered chorus." MTV Buzzworthy

"Rabbits on the Run," a whimsical, chime-chorded masterpiece." San Francisco Examiner

"No overbearing over-souling: Carlton delivers grrl-pop straight, candidly exploring the twists and simple turns of fate that any girl of any age can relate to." Metro New York

"This songtress' pure sweet vocals shine on her newest album." AM New York
