A grooving, vibrant rocker from The All’s Eye, “Carriage House” stirs in its colorful, momentum-filled sound. Largely instrumental beyond sporadic title-touting vocal touches, the production excels in its variety of immersive moments — from debonair jazz-guitar traversals to charismatic organ infusions and dexterous rhythmic interplay. It marks a standout track from The All’s Eye, which comprises guitarist/composer Ari Joshua, drummer Ben Atkind, and keyboardist Kris Yunker.
Recorded at Carriage House Studios in Connecticut, “Carriage House” captivates in its timeless-feeling allure — channeling a soulful funk synergy that flows seamlessly, punctuated by momentary title-bearing vocals, which play as a preview of the track’s vocal-laden version, which is still in the works. The track represents an audible reflection of the trio’s dynamic musical history — from Joshua’s work in the NYC jazz scene to Yunker’s soul/funk pedigree and Atkind’s jam-friendly musicianship.
Pulses of guitars and organs venture into the “carriage house!” vocal harmony — concise though effective in leading to a balancing of twangy guitars and bursting organs. Joshua’s tender, hypnotic guitar work navigates with suavely engrossing charm into the two-minute turn, where Yunker’s organ work re-assumes prominence. Atkind’s rhythmic precision consumes throughout as well, excelling from climactic steadiness to energetic fills in the track’s sating finale. “Carriage House” is a thoroughly memorable success from The All’s Eye.
