On &#8220;Greetings from Soulgaria,&#8221; the musician born in Sofia invents a place where memories, soul, and eccentric stories come together. The name came from an old attribution that he appropriated for the album. And the album title plays on Bruce Springsteen&#8217;s &#8220;Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.:&#8221; a pretty concrete reference for music that cannot be pinned down to a model.<\/p>\n<p>Stoyanov had previously written and sung music for Peter Fox and Seeed. His own songs combine indie, blues and soul with a narrative perspective that prefers to stay with individual characters and images rather than with grand genre claims. &#8220;Telecaster Warrior&#8221; weaves a story through guitars and R&amp;B influences; &#8220;Jon Bon Jovi&#8221; recalls memories of summer visits to Bulgaria and the CDs bought there. The fact that such a title can be both a joke and a serious memory fits well with this project.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/6lxux8VJXRZ98idfyMzZmx\">Bulgarian Cartrader on Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n<p>After &#8220;Motor Songs&#8221; from 2022, &#8220;Greetings from Soulgaria&#8221; was released in 2025, later supplemented by an extended version. On it is also &#8220;In My Zone&#8221;, an older studio recording with producer Moses Schneider. The release shows how Stoyanov juxtaposes material from different phases side by side: an immediately driving piece next to the narrative detours of the album. For the concert context, this range is particularly interesting. Those who only expect a smooth indie soul sound easily overlook how carefully a small world is built here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bulgarian Cartrader&#8217;s real name is Daniel Stoyanov, but the artist name already reveals more about his approach to identity than a civil registration.
