It can’t be easy being Bon Iver’s drummer – that is, if you want a solo career that doesn’t draw constant comparisons to Bon Iver. Musical synergy is difficult to pull apart and solo projects are a great chance to explore these individual contributions. It is evident from Sean Carey’s solo material that the clear, layered vocals, varied percussive elements, and looping tricks are not only beautiful on S. Carey records, but play a large part in the sparkle and ingenuity of Bon Iver.
