New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Carlsson official website) After discovering the world of electronic sounds on an early home computer, German-born artist Carlsson began writing his first compositions. Having grown up in the countryside where not many shared his love for Synthpop and New Wave, he decided early on not to join one of the local rock bands, but instead, remain solo. That was long, long ago and far, far away.
Carlsson moved to New York where he began incorporating lyrics to accompany his melodies and blended synthesizer-driven tracks with more traditional piano based arrangements. Carefully creating his songs to reflect his quiet, low-key personality, his songs became based on simple yet powerful tunes with few words. But, no matter whether it's danceable or melancholic, the end product is straight, well-crafted Synthpop that is written with the intent of lingering in the listener's mind.
During the course of his career, Carlsson's worked with such luminaries as British producer Colin Pearson (Alphaville), and German producer Jose Alvarez-Brill (Wolfsheim, Unheilig, De/Vision). He has now announced the release of a new compilation titled "Waiting EP" which will feature 5 tracks of newly recorded and re-mixed/re-mastered versions of Carlsson classics that's slated for release later this year.
