“Bad Water,” the first single from Carroll’s forthcoming debut record, recalls the dreaminess of Wild Nothing and the ease of Real Estate. Steeped in longing synths and familiar guitars, the track fits as comfortably as your favorite fall sweater and sounds as pretty as the leaves look when their colors start to run.
Honestly, there’s nothing bad about “Bad Water,” and if it’s any indicator of what’s to come for this Minneapolis quartet, greatness lies ahead.
