Nipaluna/Hobart musician Abe Parsons, working under the moniker Caelo, is continuing a stunning upwards trajectory with his third single ‘Tongue Tied’: a raw and visceral folk-inflected piece of indie pop that creates a guitar-laced web that enraptures and captivates.
The complex crystalline guitars form the spine to this song: melodic and intricate, while Parson’s voice, bolstered by sweet harmonies, is velvet soft and expressive. The lyrics are filled with a romantic sense of optimism while touched with a sense of yearning. Caelo is developing an unique style that mixes sparkling instrumentation with a delivery that nods at americana and folk, while infusing this with an antipodean indie pop sensibility.
‘Tongue Tied’ is out now and can be downloaded or streamed here or download through the link below:
You can catch Caelo live at the end of the month in Hobart playing with another band we’ve covered, the brilliant The Tinderboxers – details below.
