“I’m not a McDonald’s hamburger,” says Rose, an artist who has become known 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.”
Rose’s albums blend psychobilly, pop, shoegaze, alt-country, folk, electronic and experimental. They infuse satire, perspective-hopping, film-inspired narrative and an array of storytelling devices that transport listeners straight into Rose’s self-described “weird buffet” of a mind.
On 'year of the slug', out February 7, 2025, there is no pretense, no bells or whistles, no heavy production. “Sometimes it’s nice to have a pearl before it’s polished,” Rose says. Recorded in Garageband from a phone, slug offers quality songs in their rawest form, straight to the listener, no middleman.
Rose is touring '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.”
'year of the slug' has previously only been offered on Bandcamp and as a limited edition physical release. It will not be available on streaming platforms.
All songs written and arranged by Caroline Rose.
Produced, Engineered, & Mixed by Caroline Rose in Los Angeles, CA
Mastered by Riley Geare
