Live at Lansdowne Hotel in Sydney: Caroline Rose (USA)

Australian audiences will experience the new album live for the first time, as Caroline Rose brings their new tracks to life - including the album's singles 'Chow Mein', fan favourite 'Yip Yip Yow', and 'Calm' / 'Hello Again, Jim' both released today - across two intimate Australian solo shows this November.

Caroline Rose will release Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall on October 23, marking the debut release on their own SUCK records label. Working with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Explosions in the Sky, Sharon Van Etten, Angel Olsen), Rose built the album through humour, layering, and instinct rather than polish. It pairs sharply observed, memoiristic songwriting with expansive guitar textures that render the everyday with violent clarity and mythic scale. The songs draw from ordinary situations and push them into exaggerated, sometimes unsettling territory, creating a portrait of contemporary American life through humour, discomfort and absurdity.

Caroline Rose has built a career defined by reinvention, razor-sharp wit, and a fiercely independent presence. Blending psychobilly, pop, shoegaze, alt-country, folk, electronic, and rock music, they move fluidly between sonic worlds while maintaining a singular artistic voice. Their albums The Art of Forgetting (2023), Superstar (2020), Loner (2018), I Will Not Be Afraid (2014) and America Religious (2012) have featured in a slew of Best Albums and Songs lists across NPR, Rolling Stone, Paste, Bandcamp, with further support from KCRW, Nylon, Uncut, a performance on Late Night With Seth Meyers and across radio locally including FBi Radio, triple j, Double J, RTR FM, Triple R, PBS and many others.
