Caroline Rose has announced a new album.
'Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall' is set to arrive on October 23, marking the first release via their independent imprint SUCK Records. Producer by John Congleton, the album finds the New York singer-songwriter exploring the surreal side of everyday life, blending humor with personal songwriting.
As a preview, Rose has shared Chow Mein, an upbeat guitar-driven indie-rock track that follows previous single Yip Yip Yow in teasing the record.
“A lot of my songs I think of as scenes in a movie," Rose explained. "I relate to characters who are a little strange, who are outsiders, who seem to fuck up a lot or find themselves in awkward situations. Most of these stories are just pulled directly from scenes in my own life, so the character is basically always some version of myself. This is a story about trying too hard to be cool and act normal, but everything is going wrong."
Rose will tour North America in September and October supporting Modest Mouse, followed by new run of in-store performances and signing events across the UK and Europe between October 28 and November 5. Head here for details.
They released their latest album, 'year of the slug', exclusively on vinyl and Bandcamp last year, following 2023's 'The Art of Forgetting'.
