Soundscapes of euphoria and melancholy, untethered by genre. The London post-post-rock collective caroline release a new album, caroline 2 (feat. Caroline Polachek), set to play in Prague for the first time in October

​caroline debuted in 2022 with their eponymous record released via Rough Trade Records. Across ten largely instrumental tracks—drawing inspiration from hazy folk, fragmented post-rock, and bittersweet midwest emo—the band experiments with repetition, minimalism, structure, and dynamics. The result is a collection of vibrant, abstract soundscapes painted through patient yet fearless layering of hypnotic motifs played on guitar, drums, violin, flute, and clarinet. Reminiscent at times of Godspeed You! Black Emperor as well as Black Country, New Road, the record is a result of years worth of collective improvisations and the band expanding from a trio to an eight-piece.

„The success of the entire record is ultimately down to this balancing act, where the band manage to provide both overwhelming waves of noise, and the space to take them in. There are plenty of exhalations of emotion on caroline’s debut album, but the inhalations are just as important.“ — The Quietus

​​​This year, caroline follow up their debut with a second album, continuing their exploration of repetition, slowness and space, but diving deeper into dynamic contrasts—between organic and electronic, raw and refined. Launched with the striking single Tell me I never knew that, featuring Caroline Polachek’s unmistakable vocals, caroline 2 showcases a fearless interplay of layered instrumentation, warped vocal processing, and moments of both euphoria and melancholy. Intentional and immersive, this next chapter solidifies caroline as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary music.

caroline 2 releases on May 30 and the band takes it on tour this coming fall with a stop at MeetFactory on October 12.
