Memphis-based artist Carl Krausnick delivers a timeless-sounding rock appeal on “Handle With Care,” a magnetic single that succeeds across both hazy acoustic-laden introspection and wailing, twangy guitar ardor. “I’ve been waiting for an application, to test it out,” his vocals resonate during the hypnotic verses, complemented by touches of synths alongside the concise guitar lines and fluttering acoustic strums.
An escalated passion re-emerges just past midpoint, when warming distortion and tender guitar twangs coexist past the three-minute turn. The final couple minutes then enthrall with their dynamic array of both bursting rock charisma and mellow, harmonious contemplation. “Handle With Care” is an excellent piece of songwriting from Carl Krausnick, full of dynamic tonal flair and scorching emotion.
