Caroline Rose

From the depths of ethereal indie-folk, Caroline Rose’s latest album The Art Of Forgetting sees her at her most tuned-in and at her most honest. From the very first synth note triggered, the album is a hazy, hum-drum psychedelic soundscape bolstered with big Björkenergy… and an even bigger grandeur to the type of confessional honesty we’ve not seen present enough in her past work. Their breathy vocals sit right up front in the mix so listeners can hear every single ache and pain in the lyrics. The arrangements balance clean 70s pop with dramatic 00s arena pop, thanks to a prodigious amount of pianos and synths. However, there’s plenty of teeth in the tunes, thanks to regular infusions of fuzzy guitars, silky string sections, quirky bass runs, and trip-hop beats.
