Carpathian - Wanderlust (2010)


After two years of touring the world, Carpathian have returned with their most soulful and pensive effort to date, the "Wanderlust" 7" EP. Recorded in their home of Melbourne, Australia by Drew Parsons, the effort was shipped over to the States where Jay Maas (Isolation engineer) handled the final mixing duties. From the first ringing notes, it's apparent that Carpathian have grown into a darker and more reflective band since the release of "Isolation."
