Johnson, Carissa
Blues Hour Deluxe
Carissa Johnson is known for her straight-forward lyrics, driving melodies, and her bands inimitable live energy. From the start Johnson has been supported sonically by hard-grooving drums, growling bass lines, and resonant guitar melodies. Johnsons brand new album release Blue Hour Deluxe is a 22 track collection of kinetic synth-laden indie-rock songs that serve as a chronicle of a year spent inside oneself, an study of loneliness, self-doubt, frustration and motivation backed by dreamy electronic production and driving percussion. Lyrically, many of the songs on Blue Hour are reflective of the isolation in which they were born, but musically, the record buzzes with the energy of collaboration, a sea of disparate influences coming together to create a modern indie-pop masterpiece. Blue Hour Deluxe features the full Blue Hour album compiled with, The Good EP and L'Heure Bleue, After Dark. A must have completist release for fans old and new to the magic, art, and creativity of Carissa Johnson.
