Carbon Choir put their kettle on the burner in 2007, and in no time reached boiling point in their home town of Denver, Colorado. Their discography includes 2 highly acclaimed EPs ('Middletown' and '2007 EP'), and the brand new full-length (released Dec. 09) 'High Beams' which has already gained much momentum and is receiving tall-tabled reviews. They're featured on the cover of Colorado Music Buzz Magazine's
January 2010 issue!!
These 4 musicians are long-time friends and classmates, and have a unique take on the indie rock genre, bringing their backgrounds in jazz and classical music to the table to write music that is all their own.

"Carbon Choir's 'Afraid to Multiply,' the lead track on the new album 'High Beams,' is one of the most succinct, graceful musical statements to come out of Denver this year." -John Wenzel, The Denver Post. Dec, 2009.
"God, I hope a lot of people hear this album... phenomenal by all accounts." -Brian Johnson, Marquee Magazine, Nov. 2009.
Here's what Tom Murphy of Westword says about the band:
"Carbon Choir is a band whose virtues compound with each song. At first you might be drawn in by the music's delicate atmospherics and expertly measured pacing, because the band's sound is definitely made for reflective moments and thoughtful observation. But those who dismiss this act as just another Radiohead-influenced atmospheric indie band with piano should give it more than a cursory listen. Its jazz rhythms and tonal choices reveal a group that takes great care to execute evocative moments, employing emotion and superior technique in a refreshing fusion of brain and heart. The admirably diverse material also makes it obvious that these guys are drawing from a broad sonic palette. Many bands strive for soaring ethereal beauty, but few have melodies as rock-solid as Carbon Choir."
