Caroline Rose

Year of the Slug Black Vinyl LP

SKU: CRS03

€25

“I’m not a McDonald’s hamburger,” says Rose, an artist who has become known for being somewhat of an impish indie rebel, championing independent music and creative reinvention. “I’m just trying to make music diverse enough that AI can’t reproduce it.”

Rose’s albums blend psychobilly, pop, shoegaze, alt-country, folk, electronic and experimental. They infuse satire, perspective-hopping, film-inspired narrative and an array of storytelling devices that transport listeners straight into Rose’s self-described “weird buffet” of a mind.

On 'year of the slug', released February 7, 2025, there is no pretense, no bells or whistles, no heavy production. “Sometimes it’s nice to have a pearl before it’s polished,” Rose says. Recorded in Garageband from a phone, slug offers quality songs in their rawest form, straight to the listener, no middleman.

'year of the slug' will only be offered on Bandcamp and as a limited edition physical release. It will not be available on streaming platforms. 

All songs written and arranged by Caroline Rose.

Produced, Engineered, & Mixed by Caroline Rose in Los Angeles, CA

Help, I haven't received my order!

Unfortunately, even the fine, qualified postal system loses a package now and again. If you have not received your package, we kindly ask you to let us know within 30 days (60 days for customers outside the EU) of your order date and we will credit your account or reship the item. Notices about undelivered goods received after the above time frames will not be considered for store credit or reshipment!

If your stuff does not arrive at your door within the delivery times listed above, please drop us an Email and we will look into it for you right away.

Information on Pre-orders

First off, we do everything in our power to ensure that you will! However with pre-orders we are reliant on external suppliers and labels sending all the stock to us in time. Rest assured though that as soon as we have items here, we will be working on shipping them out as fast as we can. Our aim is to ship them prior to release day so that you will have that record in your hands on the day it comes out! Also just be aware that if you include other items together with pre-order we will ship everything together when the pre-order is ready.

Please note that certain pre-order items are limited to a certain number of copies/items per person, we reserve the right to cancel any orders that exceed these limits.

Any other questions?

Please feel free to drop us an Email.
