No, we’re not talking about your favorite Tom Jones-loving “Fresh Prince” character. Carlton is an L.A. by-way-of Washington D.C. trio who describes their sound as alternative pop, but their new single “Drift” is proof the members Richard Wynne, Brian Jones, Brendan McCusker have steered their sound more toward the ever-popular synth-pop genre. Whereas their debut EP “Stretching” is chock-full of peppy pop-rock, the new track sees their guitars riffing more than chugging. Carlton may be joining the masses but their new direction is also showing their new potential.
