Since their first single release in 2017, Carver Commodore has gradually taken a more and
more DIY approach to their music career–an interesting concept when it seems that usually, additional creative collaborators come into the picture as a band develops. Throughout releasing multiple albums and EPs, they’ve harnessed their creative skills to develop and produce their own music videos, artwork, graphic design, and essentially any other creative element you could imagine when thinking of a band’s presence in the world. It’s only fitting that their new LP is the band’s first fully self-produced effort, aptly titled CARVER, and serves as a mission statement: “We’re a fun, loud, energetic indie rock’n’roll band that’s proud to be from Alabama.”

Alabama probably isn’t the first place music critics think of when they recall the indie rock
greats, but this left-of-center approach gives Carver Commodore an intriguing edge. CARVER draws on inspiration from greats like The Strokes and contemporaries like Wallows, but does it with just enough distance from the NYC scene that you can tell there’s something different behind their songs, even if you can’t place what exactly.

Fans can feel it in the sense of community that builds on every Carver Commodore tour, too. While “southern hospitality” may be a bit of a cliche, there is something to be said for artists from rural parts of the country touring and building connections with people in other cities who have the same shared experiences of growing up in small towns. Relatability is a key piece of the Carver Commodore puzzle simply because it is one of the ultimate purposes of music. “We hope listeners find a song that connects with them on a deep level and that this album makes them realize that they can go out and do whatever they want to do with their life,” says the band.

CARVER is the latest release for a band that simply can’t, and won’t, stop. “It’s 100% Carver Commodore. We entered this record with the following theme: ‘Let’s just be ourselves. Just play what comes naturally, don’t overthink it, and have fun.”
