On his Curio City album, Charlie Winston has put aside his acoustic guitar and dreamt up a fantastic future: a new world in which the human heart beats to the rhythm of machines.
Guitar in hand, hat on head, Charlie Winston has long conveyed the image of an artist of the open road. Back from his travels around the world, however, the English artist based himself in London as he laid the foundations for his third album. Curio City offers twelve visions of the future in songs inspired by science-fiction films and put together with the help of an impressive collection of synths. Winston has reinvented himself on this electro-pop album, drawing on technological progress, love, and the theory of evolution. Whether singing sure-fire hits such as the single “Lately” or with his voice balancing precariously between melody and melancholy (as on “Truth” and “Too Long”), he sees his future in a different way.
'Too Long' is his newest single from Curio City!
