Sundials and Weathervanes - The Carousel

The Carousel were an English indie-pop/folk band that existed from 1989-1994. It's key players were Elizabeth Price (ex-Talulah Gosh vocals and guitar) and Gregory Webster (ex-Razorcuts). Elizabeth would write all the songs. Other musicians, mostly ex-Goshies, would guest-appear from time to time. Elizabeth's idea was to fuse old English tunes and imagery with indie pop sensibilities. The songs were laid bare, no bass or drums, just vocals and guitars ringing and chiming as if recorded in a cathedral to give a pure and religious feel.
