Caroline Rose - LONER [CD]
Digiwallet "The songs and narratives on LONER reflect my life over the last couple years - I joined Tinder, I got my first apartments and painted it teal, I went to parties, I discussed politics, I had a girlfriend, we traveled the country, we broke up. I learned, for better or worse, how to be a member of the modern world. Turns out the modern world is terrifying. Tired of the bottomless pit of sad songs, I decided to put a spin on my greatest songwriting inspirations - misogyny, unplanned pregnancy, Capitalism, anxiety, loneliness, and death - and wrap such depressing subject matter in a sprightly, angsty pop burrito...because it's hard being serious all the time and sometimes sad songs just need a cocktail. LONER reflects the styles of music I love - pop, folk, punk, electronic, and surf music - all thrown into a blender with a ladle full of cheeky satire. I call it Schizodrift. It sounds like Blondie drunk on mai tais. LONER was co-produced by myself and the wonderful Paul Butler
