about

Here's what PopMatters had to say in its review of Carnival Barkers, the debut LP from I Am Casting...
"This is an album in the traditional sense, a song cycle united against a common enemy. The record proves itself as much reportage as cautionary tale, replete with complex melodic and harmonic turns as well as truth-seeking lyrics that can provide hope in moments of hopelessness... At times reminiscent of Paul Simon's most woke moments, the early solo work of Peter Gabriel or Los Lobos' ode to the silently suffering, By the Light of the Moon, Carnival Barkers is an exquisite portrait of the times that try humankind's collective soul." (PopMatters, Feb 2019)
