Biography

Dream pop duo Caraml (previously Caramel) has returned with “Green Again,” the gorgeous third single from their upcoming debut album Seasons. It follows the previously released singles “Chasing a Sound” and “We’re Fine.” expanding on their luxurious, atmospheric sound. They are a duo formed from “opposites sides of the earth:” South Africa (Stephan Kreussel) and Lithuania (Dominykas Morkūnas), but their collaboration is seamless; when it came to creating Seasons, Kreussel and Morkunas rented a house next to a lake and set up a recording studio, where they were inspired by solitude and nature. The album title actually comes from this new single’s lyrics: “Seasons change/ So they say/ Yellow, red, Green again.” Given these details, it’s likely that this will be an album that beckons to cyclical change and the trials and tribulations that come with each iteration, but ultimately, a cycle that always falls on the side of rebirth. 
 “Green Again” is remarkably synth-heavy, much like the previous two singles, but, of course, not in a way that overwhelms or darkens the narrative. I can’t explain it, but the instrumentals truly do create a verdant tonal expanse; the echoed vocals and soft, yet pronounced glimmers of guitar that appear in the background feel akin to the cool air in a forest, as if you are feeling leaves and branches brush against you as you make your way through. “In the pines,” they sing, “we’ll be fine.” // kid with a vinyl
