Another Day Another Dollar by Carten Schnell: Review

This release by the renowned German musician Carten Schnell titled ‘Another Day Another Dollar,’ will transport listeners into a vortex of feelings and carry them through to the other side. The surreal blues production will blow anybody away, generating feelings of happiness and calm with each listen, it captivates the listener with its supple guitar chords, silky synth, and tender percussion, much in the same way that an ocean may does so with nothing more than the movement of its waves.

Taking into consideration the complexity of jazz music, this song nevertheless succeeds. The song’s accessibility may be attributed in part to the well-executed bass line and the breezy, open production as a whole. The lead guitar tone is spot on for the genre and the playing, and the vintage synths in the background give the track a nice, mellow tone; the instrumentation in the song sways gently, and the composition breathes deeply, evoking the atmosphere of a mundane, routine day while sounding like the most enjoyable part of mundane days.

Seasoned composition, a passionate delivery, and modest production help the single sidestep complication and give an airy feeling. This song is mesmerizing, much as the ocean is mesmerizing with just the movement of the waves, thanks to the combination of its gentle guitar chords, silky synth, and caressing percussion, making it compulsory for every jazz and blues enthusiast out there.
