S. Carey - Break Me Open (Limited Edition Eco Teal Vinyl)
LP
S. Carey is the moniker of Eau Claire, Wisconsin-based multi-
instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Sean Carey. Over the past
decade, Carey has fostered his flourishing solo career via themes of
nature and sustainability, songwriting built from jazz beginnings, and
heartfelt, emotive lyricism. His latest and fourth album, Break Me
Open, is best described in his own words:
"In Break Me Open, I confronted darkness, I wrote about fear, I looked at
love from different angles, I left it all out on the field. These past couple
years have been the hardest of my life: full of grief, loss, and change. I
feel like I had two choices. I could run from life, turn away, grow cold,
resort to drugs, run and keep running. Or, I could give myself a deep
look within. I could dig deep where the pain lives, where fear is festering,
to try shed a new skin and come back a better person.Everyone is so far
from perfect.This is not a “divorce” album. And while going through
that has shook me to my core, leaving me at times, wondering who I am,
and where to go, this record is bigger. It’s about love - past, present, and
future. It’s about fatherhood - the overwhelming feeling of deep love for
my kids and the melancholy of watching them grow up right before my
eyes. It’s about accepting my faults and wrongdoings, exposing myself,
and trying to know myself better than I did the day before. But above
the darkness, it’s a message of hope, honesty, and growth. It’s a call to
be vulnerable: Break Me Open."
