In addition to touring as a member of Bon Iver's band, percussionist/multi-instrumentalist Sean Carey releases his own music under the name S. Carey. His next release is Range of Light, a full-length that will be out on April 1 though Jagjaguwar.
The album follows 2012's Hoyas EP and marks Carey's first full-length since 2010's All We Grow. It was recorded at Justin Vernon's April Base Studios in Fall Creek, WI. This is the first S. Carey album recorded in a studio.
The album features contributions from Vernon, in addition to Carey's live band. Carey said in a statement:
The 'Range of Light,' to me, is the range of my own happiness and the range in anyone's happiness, sadness…it became a very California-inspired record for me. California and Arizona, specifically, because when I was a kid, my parents got divorced, and my dad lived in Arizona. Every summer we would go visit him and explore — basically road-trip around and camp and fish and hike, and do all that stuff in Arizona and in California, because we had a bunch of cousins and aunts and uncles that lived there. Some of the songs are about those memories, which again goes back to the 'Range of Light.'
