Caroline Rose | year of the slug

In the organizer's words:

"I'm not a McDonald's hamburger," says Rose - artist, indie rebel and advocate of creative independence. "I want to make music that is so diverse that AI can't copy it."

Her songs combine psychobilly, pop, shoegaze, alt-country, folk, electronic and experimental - infused with satire, cinematic storytelling and a wild mix of perspectives. Rose herself calls it her "weird buffet" of thoughts.

The new album year of the slug, released on February 7, 2025, deliberately dispenses with big production. "Sometimes an unpolished pearl is just the right thing," she says. Created on her cell phone in Garageband, the album delivers raw, direct songs - no frills, no middleman. year oft the slug was only released on Bandcamp and as a limited physical edition - no streaming.

The tour for year oft the slug takes Caroline Rose solo to small, independent clubs. "These places are the backbone of the scene. They are fighting for survival and I owe them a lot."
