Headfirst Editor's Pick
"Eight-piece collective caroline’s songs never go where you expect them to go. Their music is simultaneously timeless and ultra-contemporary: amalgamating post-rock, midwest emo, earthy folk and minimalist drone until you’re falling upwards through a pastoral vortex. Simply put, this will be epic FFO: Phil Elverum, Slint if they were more triumphant, Still House Plants, Broken Social Scene, sweeping and weeping. "

Returning with 'caroline 2', the eight-piece collective embrace a bolder, more expansive sound. Going beyond their debut's explorations of repetition, slowness and space, the new album pushes further into dynamic contrasts — organic and electronic, raw and refined. Launched with the striking single ‘Tell me I never knew that’, featuring Caroline Polachek’s unmistakable vocals, caroline 2 showcases a fearless interplay of layered instrumentation, warped vocal processing, and moments of both euphoria and melancholy. Intentional and immersive, this next chapter solidifies caroline as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary music. Catch their powerful live show on tour.
