"While honing their free jazz licks at the nearby University of Washington, Carmen and Nick harbored a secret ambition: to play original music for bass, guitar, and their two respective voices. People People represents the realization of this dream. Nick plays guitar. Carmen plays bass. They both sing.

The songs are sad songs mostly; it feels disingenuous for Nick to write anything else. But there's some positivity, maybe even resilience, sprinkled throughout. Best enjoyed with existential angst, a recent breakup, or a minimum of two drinks."
