Contact Jessica Linker about Caroline Rose
Caroline Rose announces year of the slug, their new album out February 7th. “I’m not a McDonald’s hamburger,” says Rose, who has earned a reputation for being somewhat of an impish indie rebel, championing independent music and creative reinvention. “I’m just trying to make music diverse enough that AI can’t reproduce it.” There is no pretense, no bells or whistles, nor heavy production on year of the slug. “Sometimes it’s nice to have a pearl before it’s polished.” Recorded in Garageband from a phone, Slug offers quality songs in their rawest form, straight to the listener, sans middleman. It will be exclusively offered on Bandcamp and as a limited edition physical release.
Beginning in March, Rose will tour year of the slug in a series of ‘Evening With’ solo performances in exclusively independent venues carefully chosen to avoid large service fees. “These places are the working class of the touring industry. They’re the ones hit hardest by the corporations hoarding all the money at the top and yet they still find a way to keep their doors open. I cut my teeth in these small clubs. I’m really grateful for them.” A full list of dates can be found below, and tickets can be purchased here.
