Supermoon

Released in 2015, Supermoon serves as a bridge and a reflection, primarily featuring 'Alt. Versions' of tracks from S. Carey's second full-length album, Range of Light. Sean Carey, known as the drummer and supporting vocalist for Bon Iver, uses this EP to pivot away from his signature complex, classically-informed percussion. Instead, the record focuses on his skills as a pianist and a delicate vocalist. The recording context feels deeply personal, emphasizing 'bedroom production' values even within a professional framework. The inclusion of a Radiohead cover ('Bullet Proof.. I Wish I Was') highlights Carey's ability to translate alternative rock into the language of chamber folk. Critics, including those at AllMusic, noted the EP's ability to maintain the emotional weight of his full-length records while utilizing significantly fewer tools, praising the intimacy and the 'unplugged' feel of the arrangements.
