Charlemagne is a man, not a band, the rather brilliant new creation from Carl Johns, leader-songwriter of Wisconsin alt-country-psych-noir-rockers Noahjohn. For the most part Charlemagne is pop music, borrowing elements from upbeat folk, roots-rock, and droning psychedelia, earning comparisons to The Velvet Underground, The Byrds, and Lambchop. As Delusions of Adequacy said, " With all the new crap that comes out everyday from scores of marginally talented musicians, it’s refreshing to hear new acts that not only sound great but also bring something unique to the table. Charlemagne does this perfectly, easily mixing quality pop with quality elements of country, creating a wonderful blend that will appeal to fans of both indie pop and alt-country..."
