New EP from Alan Caruso

Alan Caruso is a country folk singer-songwriter based in London, UK. A humble artist through and through, he claims to sing ‘badly’ and play the guitar ‘barely’ when he should be under no delusion about the joy his music brings to others.

Like so many artists, it was the pandemic and ensuing lockdown induced periods of isolation that acted as the catalyst for Alan Caruso to start writing songs for the first time. Taking influence from artists such as David Berman, Leonard Cohen, Daniel Johnston, Bruce Springsteen, Judee Sill, Carole King, Josephine Foster, Faye Webster and Ted Hawkins, the artist crafts his own delicate and timeless folk sound.

Now he shares his first release with his debut EP titled Caruso – Is Like So… featuring three original compositions to give an introduction to the artist’s music. Recorded at Gizzard Recording with producer Ed Deegan, who’s previously worked with the likes of Holly Golightly, Alan Caruso’s first outing offers a calming listen of enduring classic folk songs.

Commenting on the release, the artist shares, “The aim of Caruso – Is Like So… is to make you feel a little bit less lonely, during what is undoubtedly a very lonely time in our recent history. If you listen and hear a friend singing to you, then I’ve achieved everything I set out to achieve by writing and recording these songs.”
