Despite being a bedroom producer, there’s a crispness to Carta Inc’s sound that feels straight out of an expensive studio. The remarkably talented DIY producer out of Merseyside enlists the help of Brunetti on vocals on “Keeping A Distance”. The result is a simply ecstatic piece of indie pop music that’s irresistibly infectious from back to front. With a chorus that gets stuck in your head and a backing rhythm and melody that seems to demand a tap of the replay button on each listen, “Keeping A Distance” is an effortlessly pleasurable listen to any kind of listener. It’s a commercial track without a shadow of doubt, but not one that feels crass or manufactured. It’s organic, real, and sincere in its expression and through its collaboration.
Carta Inc’s sound is proof enough that bedroom music can quite easily rest with the same multi thousand dollar studio recordings that all major labels use. When the melody and beat is right, the song will work.
