Some secrets cannot be kept for long. For five years, Caroline was a closely guarded secret on the London new band scene, where everything moves so fast, whereas Caroline’s story had been simmering since Jasper Llewellyn, Mike O’Malley and Casper Hughes began searching for their identity during improvisation sessions in early 2017.

This was followed by months of private performances, the addition of several members to form an octet, and finally their first official concert as Caroline in 2018. Their debut album, released in 2022, spread the word: they sounded like Talk Talk, The Books, Panda Bear, Deerhoof, Tortoise and Arthur Russell, and at the same time, they sounded like no one else. Now they are perfecting their unique sound—are they making miniature symphonies, avant-folk, post post post-rock?—with their second album.
