Texas-based threesome Carthy are excited to release their new e.p. 'broken down,’ on their own ClaraNova Records. It's a collection of singer-songwriter fueled indie pop songs about unconscious hurt, losing people you love, unrequited desire, flying high and falling low. The three brothers that comprise Carthy - Chase, Drew and Seth have been working on this inspired selection of tunes on and off for a little over three years. ‘broken down’ effortlessly showcases the band’s engaging versatility around a melody and a tune. The 7-song e.p. of self examination highlights Carthy's gritty alt-pop leanings on songs like the catchy, sing-a-long odes to the have-nots and ne’er-do-wells with lead single and video, “I’m So Broke” and “No One Will Ever Hear This Song” to the yearning electro pop dramatics of “Over The Moon” to the band’s more plaintive and reflective singer-songwriter roots as demonstrated on the poignant title track ode to personal struggles, “Broken Down,” ‘broken down’ also features Carthy’s imaginative and slightly ’80’s-ish indie take on the Bob Sinclar dance anthem “World Hold On.” Carthy’s range of influences loom large. Citing everything from Elton John, Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Paul Simon and Queen to iconoclasts like Twenty One Pilots, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and The Killers. ‘broken down’ marks Carthy’s third release following the self-produced debut 'L.A. Bound' and last year’s collection of favorite lo-fi reworks, 'Cover Me.'
