CARM II is a genre-defying, heartfelt exploration of the possibilities in provocative music-making and provides a homespace for a profound variety of voices. Where the first record used horns in place of other instruments, CARM II places them even more prominently in the musical texture. The experience of playing live shaped this approach. ‘Standing at the front of the stage was a new experience for me and I wanted to create a record of songs that justified my being there’. There is no mistaking that the lead ‘singer’ of this band is Camerieri’s horn. CJ also wanted to feature bandmate Trever Hagen, who takes on both production and performance roles.
