Paula Carino - Door (Big Stir Digital Single No. 66)


Released: 27 Mar 2020
Label: Big Stir
Listen and Buy Here

New York Songwriter - Paula Carino is a new discovery for me. This latest song of hers, as part of the Big Stir singles series, really caught my ear. It has dark, apocalyptic vibes, quite appropriate given the current circumstances.

'Door' is an epic song with a psychedelic sound, slightly reminiscent of Pink Floyd and other Psych rock. Lyrically it is quite philosophical and thought provoking - 'Maybe the eras of the past are the only things that last and your prophecies were wrong.' 

It never seems to dwell too much and the lovely swirling harmonies and raw guitar sound, really makes this song stand out.   

'Welcome Spiders' is still quite psychedelic sounding with drum beats, and reminded me a little of The Stone Roses - Fools Gold. 

A superb single, which is lyrically and melodically stunning. It goes to prove that Paula Carino is an artist well worth checking out.
