Caramel Carmela-Skinny Jeans, Fat Bass-Review
by Jenn Cohen
Skinny Jeans, Fat Bass, (released Nov.27), the latest effort by Denver locals, Caramel Carmela, is like a schizophrenic auditory trip. The five tracks, (six if you include a remix), play out consistently inconsistent, and not in a bad way. I kept thinking I had a grip on what the song was going to feel like, then Bam!, it changed. The CD takes an eclectic jaunt through electro-pop, scream-o, and pop punk–with some piano thrown in. The vocals, when not scraping the depths of a gritty scream, reminded me of 3OH!3.
Skinny Jeans, has to be heard to be misunderstood; and frankly, that’s what I liked the most about it. Check out their single “The Party,” which gives audiences “a heart stopping, bass pumping, head bopping, dance/party song that hasn’t been released in decades.”
