Biography

Infinitely Tall is about spaces — the ones that make, break, shape, and uplift us. The debut album from the Metro Detroit-born singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, takes place across three chapters, each tied to a specific, precious locale: Detroit, Syracuse, and New York City. Across this album’s 15 generous, skyward-looking songs, Charlie augments his bedrock of lo-fi soul and lush indie-pop with piquant, arresting new textures: the forward motion of post-punk, sparkling electronic abrasion, romantic 90s indie-rock. Marrying the wistfulness of his early music with an enticing new fondness for chaos, the entirety of Charlie’s musical outlook comes to the fore. These songs are rich and cinematic, bristling with the rush of old sense-memories recalled. “97 Avalon”, for instance, is a future slow-dance classic led by one of Charlie’s most sublime vocals to date. “Break The Rhythm” and “Dancing Through The Mental Breakdown” are two tracks that find Charlie deftly unpacking rootlessness and toxic social media culture. They are uniquely, profoundly Charlie, the former written in the midst of his first tour, and the latter “a sardonic denunciation of my own ego and a … commentary on the social fabric in which a modern musician is forced to partake.” Dazzling and teeming with life, Infinitely Tall is a surprising, wide-reaching next chapter for one of this generation’s most promising young songwriters. Built from the ground up, it’s an ode to home, wherever home may be.
