Back to Henri
Carte Blanche's long-awaited EP "Back To Henri" is their debut release of all original material.

Lush string arrangements and incorporation of horns, multiple vocals, and more allow the listener to experience the band from a fresh new perspective, however the compositions never lose sight of Carte Blanche's classic sound which remains at the core of every track. Each song paints a vivid picture and tells its own story from wistfully yearning for a lover in Paris to dancing under the moon, accompanied by musical styles ranging from swing to rhumba catalan.
