Caroline Rose has announced a new album, year of the slug. The follow-up to 2023’s The Art of Forgetting will be out on February 7. Along with the news, Rose has shared the scrappy, propulsive single ‘conversation with shiv (liquid k song)’. Check it out and find the album artwork and tracklist below.
Rose recorded the new album on Garageband from a phone. “I’m just trying to make music diverse enough that AI can’t reproduce it,” they remarked. “Sometimes it’s nice to have a pearl before it’s polished.”
Rose will also be embarking on a solo tour of independent venues chosen to avoid large service fees. “These places are the working class of the touring industry,” Rose said. “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.”
