The first single by Carter Vail, titled Melatonin has been listened to just over one million times on Spotify, since its release date on May 18th of 2018. The song first landed on the Spotify Dreampop playlist, while Reddit r/listentothis featured the Melatonin music video with their audience, which set a spike of new fans for Carter. Since then, it’s been an organic, melodic journey to this stat. - Circulate Music
Singer-songwriter / producer Carter Vail possesses a knack for spinning stories in chill seductive ways. On the track Melatonin he waxes poetic about Jane, "Now Jane standing over in a night gown, she's got the phone chord twisted round her finger... she's a sight to see" and later, "Now Jane she's a lover like a pipe bomb.... she's got the pink sunglasses..... high heals gonna walk you out." Around the evocative lyrics the musical vibe is as cool as a coastal breeze muting your beads of sweat on a hot summer night. Vail sings with an accompanying high falsetto that enhances the tropical post punk vibe all filtered through an indie pop sheen. Vail is currently hubbed out of Miami and will be shooting a music video for Melatonin and I am already wondering what Jane will look like.
