Anchorage, Alaska based project Medium Build cannot be easily pinned down. Sometimes a solo endeavor, sometimes a full band, at its core, Medium Build is a creative outlet. It’s the effort of Nick Carpenter and anyone else who has fallen into his orbit over the last five years that let him put the microphones where he wants. It’s an ever-evolving collaboration built around a mutual love of 80s country, grapefruit soda water, and 90s RnB. Carpenter creates richly layered tracks by weaving raw, emotionally honest lyrics with driving instrumentation. He effortlessly blends the electronic with the analog and draws the audience into sad songs you can dance to. And don’t forget, the vision is “Let’s keep it shitty.”
