Messengers 04:02
Are we spaces? Are we spaces, ah, spaceless? Here comes the night sky While figure skaters touch the icy side and light birds climb Greetings to you In close proximity Fluorescent colours reside Evaporating atoms Peace and happiness In a steep dive Ducks penetrate The cool glazed surface Are you well? Bubbles make way For swirls of stream Where larvae pop Dear sincere greetings Stomping grounds of elephants Dusty red and wide Fine floating antelopes Wishing you a peaceful Wide azure sky Visceral volcanic fire Ecstatic ethereal eyes Good health to you Careful spider steps Dew invisibly lines Lightly flying leaf weaves

about

With the otherworldly MESSENGERS EP, Sketches of Carol delivers crystal-clear vocals set to a spellbinding backdrop of intricate production (Gonçalo Abrantes), with a soaring violin performance (William Newell, Solem Quartet) that transports the listener to outer space.

The EP is inspired by NASA’s Golden Record and playfully reverberates the beauty of our natural world that so desperately needs protection. Sonically, it serves as a homage to Schmidt’s love of science fiction, paying tribute to the stunning sound worlds that can be heard in Ridley Scott’s ‘Blade Runner’ (1984) and the 1980’s Star Wars trilogy.
