Carriers Share New Single “Blurry Eyes” Feat. The National & War On Drugs Members
“Blurry Eyes” by Carriers is a pulsing testament to perseverance, where Cincinnati songwriter Curt Kiser digs into a raw and relatable kind of open-road Americana.
Cincinnati’s Curt Kiser goes by the alias Carriers and recalls early Bob Dylan and Kurt Vile. In the case of “Sometimes,” Kiser took a bumpy week and turned it into a song.
Believers of fate will find solace in the album and all its internal worries. Kiser’s raw and relatable struggles with life get turned on their head throughout the album, showing that every burden makes the light brighter at the end of the tunnel.
The record touches on the realities and hardships of a life spent running down a dream; a cosmic swirl of heartland hallucinations, motorik Americana, and plainspoken poeticism in the vein of Tom Petty or Amen Dunes
