Echoes in the Wind By Carbe and Durand

The smoothness of this new single makes one long for a beautiful blue sky and a Mediterranean beach, a warming sun and a soothing cocktail or three, however even here on the island of love in Cyprus we still have a little while to wait for that moment, but we can travel so vicariously in our imagination with two of the finest guitarists (including bass) of this genre in Carbe and Durand and their new single Echoes In The Wind.

I don’t know how many times I have played this new creation, but each time I do it comforts me and takes me to my favourite sandy beach a few short miles away, the sublime touch of J.P. Durand on guitar is always an attractive moment to be had, this song is so melodious and heart-warming, yet contains a reflective energy of summers past perhaps, and friends no longer around.

The gentle rhythmic construction by the amazing Lisa Carbe is something to enjoy as well, bringing a delightful sense of warmth into the piece, a woman who clearly knows her instrumentation and one who began playing at the tender age of just 8 years old.

The duo on this new single though have brought reflection, a little whisper on the wind of times past, and magical moments still yet to come, but drifting on a summer breeze yet to be birthed. I know a hit when I hear one, and I believe that Echoes in the Wind by Carbe and Durand could be their biggest one yet.
