caroline - caroline 2 (2025)
caroline's caroline 2 is a masterfully crafted, emotionally resonant exploration of collective creativity, building on their debut with richer textural depth and adventurous experimentation. The album pulses with organic unpredictability—shifting tempos, scattered analog improvisations, unexpected Auto‑Tune, brass crescendos, and layered vocals—yet always maintains a human core. From the disorienting opening of "Total euphoria" through the elegiac beauty of "Song two" and the glitch‑tinged intimacy of "Tell me I never knew that" featuring Caroline Polachek, the record weaves tension and catharsis with cinematic precision. It’s a statement of intent: post‑rock not as background ambience, but as a communal, living conversation. At once cerebral and deeply felt, caroline 2 transcends the genre’s clichés, blossoming into something vividly alive and profoundly moving.
