Open-road mysticism, brokenhearted yearning, and laugh-out-loud wit
— Genevieve Wood, The Austin Chronicle
Disjointed and beautifully weird... a mesmerizing set of anti-country-folk songs.
— Holler.
Is there a greater honor than when music manages to make you cry or laugh? Maybe yes - when it manages to do both, as on the second album by the young trans folk singer from Texas, Creekbed Carter Hogan .

Fingerpicked introspection and bittersweet confessionals
— Greg Stitt, The Austin Chronicle
Carter makes it all seem effortless with their sweetly -sung and expertly-crafted folk music. You won’t even feel the tip of the knife until it’s lodged between your ribs.
— Rachel Cholst, Rainbow Rodeo
Top shelf playing and an open soul makes for a wonderful listening experience that makes you feel like a better human for having listened to it. I am smitten.

When I listen to Creekbed Carter, he reclaims the language of holiness and purity in a way that feels like these qualities are absolutely possible for queer folks like me.

Glistening sonics that’ll fill a stereo just as well as it could the Grande Ole Opry. Based on what we’ve heard so far, we’re even willing to wager that Creekbed Carter could challenge Golden Hour when it comes to the finest mixes in acoustic music.
— Jack Anderson, KUTX
Marrying delicate fingerpicking and intimate musings, queergrass crooner Creekbed Carter Hogan [delivers] a tape of tender lullabies [that] envisions a warm refuge for queer people

As Hogan puts it, ‘Everything is so much grosser than anyone talks about.’
— Laiken Neumann, The Austin Chronicle (special Music issue review of Carter's book of short stories)
From resilience found from loss to profound and quiet joys, SPLIT is a refreshing and playfully austere meditation on collaboration, folk music, and every intimate wonder in between.
