Chris & Carla's Dreams

Everybody knows The Walkabouts. They formed in 1984 (Seattle) and after more than 20 years and a good dozen of records the core of the band Chris Eckman (Guitar, Vocals), Carla Torgerson (Guitar, Vocals) and Glenn Slater (Keyboards) are still together. What is less known are Chris Eckman side projects like The Strange, The Bambi Molesters, the duo Chris & Carla, Carla’s solo album, Saint Stranger, and last but not least, Chris Eckman works as a record producer, Chris Eckman writing the soundtracks of a Slovenian television mini-series, Novi Svet, etc, etc, etc... In one word, The Walkabouts is a productive band and I guess that if you’re a hard core fan your racks are furnished with many of good records.
The new Chris & Carla full length album Fly High Brave Dreamers will be out January 27th and in stores all over Europe by then. You can already listen to an exclusive track on there myspace. Also you can check out the new website, designed by Paul Austin (of The Transmissionary Six, part-time-Walkabouts, and ex-Willard Grant Conspiracy-fame).
“Fly High Brave Dreamers is somehow quite different than the past Chris & Carla albums, overall a bit fuller in sound and certainly a more upbeat one. Very uplifting. It is also a mix of "folk-tronica" fashioned on the laptop with loops and more modern sounds, and a session that included Al DeLoner (ex-Midnight Choir) on piano and Jason Victor (Steve Wynn & The Miracle Three, Willard Grant Conspiracy) on electric guitar. A European tour is scheduled for February/March 07.”
