about

This was our first album, released in 2007 on UK label Resonant (rip).

A few reviews:

Norman Records: "Moody and smoky it's an album for a hot bath as it builds with aural textures and shoegazy crescendos."

Boomkat: "A close point of reference would be Hood ... the title track ... features an Espers-style dark folk theme, largely thanks to the Meg Baird-alike vocals by Sarah Bell. As the song gathers steam ... a unfolding sense of shoegaze texture builds up, distancing the whole affair from its initially quite rustic beginnings, until by its end there's screeching distortion flying about all over the place."

The Silent Ballet: "like a plot-twisting film or novel identifiable by its lush characters, the album offers a whirlpool of listening experiences over time, each one laced with the promise of a new discovery."

Foxy Digitalis: "The Glass Bottom Boat is still an excellent piece of (largely) instrumental music with deep layers of sound and complex arrangements. Carta gives the listener a lot of good reasons to take notice of their music and this album will no doubt continue to unfold with each visit."
