About The Simple Carnival: While the music appears to sound like a band with orchestral embellishments, all the parts are actually performed by one person. A guy named Jeff Boller sings, writes songs, and plays piano, guitar, bass, drums, flute, cello, and a bunch of other toys.
Jeff Boller has been making music for quite a few years now, and Me And My Arrow is his third official release as The Simple Carnival. A full album - Girls Aliens Food - is scheduled for an October release (and is already available for pre-order on the official homepage!).
Me And My Arrow is a short and sweet, sunny afternoon stroll through the musical mind of Boller. The four tracks are all instantly loveable, from the breezy Caitlin’s On The Beach to lightfooted Harry Nilsson-cover Me And My Arrow. And Really Really Weird isn’t really that weird… at least not as a song. The video on the other hand… well, decide for yourself by watching it below! 
Btw.: the video was made by Jeff Boller himself, as he states with “$7.25 in office supplies and two weeks of free time”. I think it turned out quite good! The Simple Carnival
