Almost Charlie - A Whisper in a World Too Loud

Release date: 9/30/2022Signposts: The Beatles, Kings of Convenience, I Am Kloot, Elliot Smith, Turin Brakes, Nick Drake. Words On Music presents A Whisper in a World Too Loud – Almost Charlie’s fifth album of captivating waltzes, brisk indie pop gems, and ornate ballads delivered by Berlin singer / multi-instrumentalist Dirk Homuth and New York City lyricist Charlie Mason.The record features a dozen new works that showcase a mastery of songwriting: Mason’s lyrical imagery is penned with such matchless wit and detail that it resonates as memorably as Homuth’s elegant melodies. Such cohesion defines the Homuth-Mason transatlantic songwriting team who, to this day, has never once met.Homuth brilliantly uses the economy of songwriting implemented by giants like The Beatles (“On The Best Day I Can’t Wait to Remember”) and Simon & Garfunkle (“Somewhen Else”) to guide his hand as he pens an undeniably personalized musical signature.The 3/4-metered album opener, “The Carousel Never Stops,”
