Carry Me Home may be quieter overall than Father Songs, but it still most definitely has that edge. Good artsy folkrock sound sometimes within a dreamy atmosphere. Moody male/female vocals and attractive mix of acoustic/electric guitars, organ and flute. Includes some mellow Parable-type ballads with electric piano. My favorite song is the hypnotic ‘Wonders’ coasting along to a trippy ethereal rhythm with a nice organ solo stretch reminiscent of Caravan. ‘Stoop Down’ has a catchy upbeat melody alongside its chorus of “Stoop down, tie up your brother’s bootlace”. Beautiful flute accompaniment and acoustic reverie to ‘Lullaby’. Striking cover shows a giant suspended-in-space see-through suitcase containing a portion of an earth landscape.
