caroline is an 8-piece post-rock, experimental, noise folk band from London and they released a new single for what I can only assume is a new album. every song they release is so incredibly layered and hits chords and timbre combinations that shake my soul. seeing them live in 2023 was one of my two life-altering experiences watching live music.
Beautiful. Stunning. Girl can SING. Lets me start my AM feeling deeply moved and yearning for whatever the day has in store for me. I’m not even a classical / opera music girly but i’m gripped. The orchestra accompaniment puts it over the top.
Sometimes I talk to my family or my coworkers or I hear an influencer online say “I’m just a girl hahaha” and I am like oh my godddd how can you still think like “blue means boy pink means girl” !!! And this literally affects their view on everything!!! What do you mean you think female dogs are “more drama” than male dogs!! They’re dogs!!! Get me out of here!!!!
finally using my portable CD player again to listen to my favorite album that isn't on any streaming services anymore!! it's so fun to have physical copies of media I like, and it was great to not use my phone for once (though the CD would pause every time I accidentally bumped into the player while I was walking to class; it was kind of charming but also pretty annoying).
