Carl Broemel: Wished Out CD

Carl's 2018 release Wished Out on CD

Broemel recorded Wished Out (Stocks in Asia/Thirty Tigers) at his newly-constructed home studio in Nashville, tracking many of the instruments alone before reaching out to several friends — including Robbie Crowell (Deer Tick), Russ Pollard (Everest, Sebadoh), and My Morning Jacket bandmates Tom Blankenship and Bo Koster — for help. He worked in spurts, taking short breaks to drive his son to school and longer breaks to hit the road with My Morning Jacket, pulling triple duty as Wished Out's producer, engineer, and frontman along the way.

"I wanted to get things moving," says Broemel, who remembers playing shows in support of his 2016 solo release — the critically-acclaimed 4th of July, full of daydreaming guitar tones and soft dynamics. "My songwriting can be very mellow. I love that mood, but I needed more balance this time around. I needed more energy! Wished Out is all about the yin and yang."
