PREMIERE: Carriers Pay Tribute to Their Hometown of Cincinnati in New Video for “Patience”

“Flood Magazine”

NOW IS THE TIME FOR LOVING ME, YOURSELF & EVERYONE ELSE

Helping him lock in the sound of the nine tracks were drummer Bryan Devendorf of The National and bassist John Curley of The Afghan Whigs. A testament to the power of self-reflection, his debut evokes the same guitar-led grandeur of The War on Drugs as Kiser takes stock of life, death, relationships and gratitude for another day.

“Flood Magazine”
