Jerry Paper has successfully channeled Brian Eno's first three solo albums with "Carousel", an infectiously-weird MIDI-pop album from the Brooklyn artist whose real name is Lucas M. Nathan ("'Jerry Paper' is the entity that inhabits Lucas M. Nathan's body when he is grooving.") This album is simply a lot of fun, and the stock sequencer sounds are somehow brought to life by the drooling Eno-esque vocal performance. "Carousel" sounds equally indebted to 80s Japanese art-pop, which makes sense when you consider that Eno's incarnation of Roxy Music took Japan by storm in the early 70s, influencing their pop music for years to come.
