Carbon Leaf blasted into the national spotlight two years ago with their major label debut, Indian Summer. But while they kept busy working as support on major national tours (Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, John Mayer, etc.) and headlining their own, these Virginia-based self-starters kept moving forward musically as well as professionally. That point rings clear throughout Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat, a collection of new songs whose sound is the richest, whose grooves are the most infectious, and whose messages run the deepest of anything they’ve yet put to disc.
With Love, Loss, Hope, Repeat Carbon Leaf defines itself as a tight instrumental unit, capable of cranking up the heat even with scaled-down arrangements based on acoustic guitar, in perfect complement to a vocal sound that can’t be mistaken for anyone else’s. Barry Privett has mastered the art of singing with a compelling detachment; his voice, whether on its own or woven into two- and three-part harmony, beckons the listener into the lyric as it opens within the heart of these songs.
And it’s worth getting close to what Privett has to say. Riding with the band’s creative ascent, he has his head in the clouds on both ends of the album, beginning with track one, the single “Learn to Fly,” and soaring all the way to the end, in the witty imagery of “International Airport.” Between these points of departure he spends some time back on the ground, taking “the train to oblivion at the crossing of our lives” on “Under the Wire,” trudging down roads “paved with ice from the darkest tears but brightened by the ones around you now” on “Royal One,” racing down open highways toward a collision of the heart on “Comfort,” and even standing still, watching helplessly as love gallops from reach on “A Girl and Her Horse.” read more.
