Let’s Go features tracks which tells the story of courtship, romance and the freedom to love. This artist used his relationships as his muse; the experiences of a journey toward commitment. From rhythmic impulses on the dance floor in the song Dance With You to the soulful declaration of love-found in the song You’re the One I’ve Been Looking For (All of My Life). The EP is a montage of different experiences…conjuring up feelings and imaginations, most mainstream music has seems to abandon, in its creation. “Let’s Go” dares you to leave all inhibitions at the door and surrender to music that crosses genres and generations.
The Christopher Complex does not follow what major labels have branded as popular music. He likes music to be different and challenging. His musical theory, both simple and involved, represents the different aspects of his complex personality.

“Let’s Go” is available at CD Baby.com and Apple iTunes.

“I am very upset with the series of events this week and I do not appreciate people making me look and sound crazy. I’m not a a whore or a b*tch, which is what people have been making me out to be. I’m a 19 year old girl, I’m single and I’m working my ass off.  Thank you to all of the fans and supporters that have recognized my hard work.”

Carl wanted to easily learn more about his favorite artists’ backgrounds and when and where they were playing in New York. He wanted to instantly hear their new releases and easily acquire tickets to their shows. He wanted instant directions to each concert and an easy way to collect their new CDs in the meantime. Mostly, Carl dreamed of honoring fellow musicians of all genres who sweated it out on the road to provide culture and inspiration, and all the supporters of the arts that provided a time and space for artists and fans to come together. The result is a dream realized.

Carl Eklof grew up in the D.C. music scene, and has been a musician for as long as he can remember. After graduating with a Computer Science degree from Virginia Tech, he moved to Boston where he helped build the leading search and navigation vendor Endeca, while also gigging with bands including Victory at Sea. Carl hopes to bring all sides of his work and arts experience and connections to www.BeeThere.net .
