Carriers is the name of a project led by Curt Kiser. The sound is aligned with that of War on Drugs, but with features that clearly differentiate the two. We typically don’t post songs that are more than seven minutes, because our attention span has been impacted by many forces. But we find “Another Guy” interesting from its ambient intro to its outro.
Quoting content sent to us from Good Eye Records:
Having played in several bands and touring throughout the US since, skipping college in the process, Cincinnati-based artist Curt Kiser has been meticulously crafting his proper debut as a songwriter in step with his own personal development. Adopting the moniker Carriers back in 2014, Kiser has worked with a collective of friends, including Bryan Devendorf (The National) and John Curley (The Afghan Whigs), to bring his sweeping rock visions to life.
Carriers’ debut LP, "Now Is The Time For Loving Me, Yourself & Everyone Else," is a testament to the power of self-reflection and is carefully layered, leaning on strong core songwriting, hypnotic synths and lush guitar tones from Kiser, mesmerizing percussion delivered by Devendorf, and nuanced, dynamic bass lines from Curley. The 9-track album evokes the same guitar-led grandeur of The War on Drugs as Kiser takes stock of life, death, relationships and gratitude for another day.
As Kiser details, “Overall it's about appreciating what we have and remaining present, while still being able to have an honest perspective of the past and our future. I’ve personally found a lot of peace in just working hard and staying focused on what I've got going on, trusting, rather than being consumed with striving. This record process has taught me a lot about patience. Life will continue to teach me to have more. I’m just trying to accept what happens and handle it the best I can. Patience is forever.”

Lyrics of “Another Guy” by Carriers
Your stone became flesh way up high
I went up to hear you voice and you made me cry
Ya told me about my money
How I had to try to choose to spend it wisely
In this life [repeating]
You were more than just a friend
You were a brother in the dark of the night
Went up to hear you speak
Hoping you could shed your light
You showed me who I was
You said you’re more than just another guy
You showed me
That you were more than just another guy
I know that you were telling me something right
Clearly I was tripping on a past life
My soul needs touched with a holy knife
My stubbornness it keeps me from a brother's try
A year of dreams went by this one stayed in my mind
Something big had happened I had met the Christ
He told me he was there to stay by my side
I asked him would you take me on another ride
Another ride [repeating]
You were more than just a friend
You were a brother in the dark of the night
Went up to hear you speak
Hoping you could shed your light
You showed me who I was
You said you’re more than just another guy
You showed me
That you were more than just another guy
I’m all washed up feel like I’m outta time
But still ya come knocking asking me to be your bride
Something in my heart tells me this every time
You’re so much more than just another guy
Ya told me you were higher than the sky
And most of what I believed it what just a lie
Like a man with itching ears I fell for a bribe
You came to love me better than just another guy
Just another guy [repeating]
You were more than just a friend
You were a brother in the dark of the night
Went up to hear you speak
Hoping you could shed your light
[Repeat]
You showed me who I was
You said you’re more than just another guy
You showed me
That you were more than just another guy
You showed me
That you were more than just another guy
You showed me
That you were more than just another guy
