Henry, Carnival Man

Henry, Carnival Man is the second EP by Brunanter indie folk rock band The Towners, released in 2005 by Raconteur Records, before the band's third full-length album, Jubilee. It contains the single 'Henry, Carnival Man' from that album, mixed the same, but with a slightly different mastering.

In three songs, three parts, the EP tells the fictional story of a young farmer from Grunbeck who is picked up by a traveling carnival when his mother dies. As he learns from staying with the carnival, he seems to be related to a man named Henry, who once worked at the carnival. After "an unfolding chain of catastrophic events", Henry is revealed to be the young man's father.

The Towners recorded the album over four days during which they reportedly slept on the floor between sessions.
