Carolina Liar's "I'm Not Over"

By Michael J.W. Stickings

My latest musical discovery, via iTunes, is Carolina Liar, an L.A.-based band with a lead singer and songwriter, Chad Wolf, from one of the Carolinas (South) and everyone else, including the producers of its fine debut album, Coming to Terms, from Sweden. (Wikipedia entry here, MySpace page here.)

There's nothing too edgy or adventurous on Coming to Terms, but it's all quite appealing. The tunes are catchy, the lyrics are pretty good, and Wolf has a strong voice. Here's the video for the album's opening track, "I'm Not Over." It's not the best song on the album -- my favourites are "Coming to Terms," "Show Me What I'm Looking For," and "Beautiful World" -- but it's a compelling introduction to CL's music.

Have a listen. And check 'em out. (And if you buy the album, make sure you get the version with the three extra songs on it -- 15 in total.)
