SUMMARY:Carsie Blanton at Crystal Ballroom The Burning Hell opens
DESCRIPTION:Buck Up\, the new studio album from singer and songwriter Car
 sie Blanton\, due out February 15 2019\, opens with a siren. The warning
  – or call to (dis)arms – segues into the first notes of “Twister.” Fing
 er snaps alone accompany Blanton’s smoky vocals\, before piano\, upright
  bass\, cello\, trumpet\, and drums join the proceedings. You’re immedia
 tely drawn in to her riveting tale of natural – and erotic – disaster. B
 rimming with catchy hooks\, sensual vocals\, and lyrics boasting a gift 
 for rhyme and meter\, Buck Up is Blanton’s melodic mandate for survival 
 following the 2016 presidential election: passion\, lust\, and humor. “T
 here are two themes on this record\,” says Blanton of Buck Up’s ten elec
 trifying tracks. “One is the feeling of catastrophe happening in America
 n politics\, and the other is this feeling of personal catastrophe”: whe
 n you fall for “That Boy\,” for example\, a reckless wild child\, the ty
 pe who populate her life and imagination. Though Buck Up may be “basical
 ly about being depressed\,” according to Blanton\, “if there’s not a sen
 se of humor or playfulness\, I don’t want to listen to it. Music is abou
 t play.” Over the past dozen years\, Blanton has been making music that 
 personifies play. Her work has been called “impeccably catchy” by critic
  Robert Christgau\, with musician John Oates admiring her songs’ “sly wi
 t and urbane imagery” that remind him of Cole Porter. She’s toured acros
 s America and Europe sharing stages with Madeleine Peyroux\, The Weepies
  and others. Though based in New Orleans since 2012\, the self-described
  “proud socialist” has been on the road since her teens.\n\nTickets: htt
