ABOUT CAROLINE ROSE
"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, due 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 will tour 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 will only be offered on Bandcamp and as a limited edition physical release. It will not be available on streaming platforms.
CROSSROADS is sponsored by EMBER Audio + Video, 88.5 WFDD and Foothills Brewing.
