Caroline Rose – “Calm” & “Hello Again, Jim”
Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall is going to be a trip. Caroline Rose has previewed the forthcoming album with bizarro bangers " Yip Yip Yow " and " Chow Mein ," and now she's sharing "Calm" and "Hello Again, Jim." The post Caroline Rose – “Calm” & “Hello Again, Jim” appeared first on Stereogum .
Caroline Rose is set to release a new album, Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall. The artist has shared two tracks from the upcoming album: "Calm" and "Hello Again, Jim." Rose explained that "Calm" is a sardonic take on feeling mentally unwell, as she often struggles with having about 20,000 different voices in her head.
In contrast, "Hello Again, Jim" offers an incisive critique of toxic men in the music industry. The song features a music video directed by Chloé Aktaş and starring Jimmi Simpson. Aktaş aimed to create a cinematic feel for the video, drawing inspiration from America's fast-food signs and highways. The video depicts a small-town bar where a bartender struggles to close for the night, with a band refusing to stop playing.
The narrative suggests that the bartender experiences a shift and a quiet realization by the end of the song. Gentling The Horse At The Walt Whitman Mall is set to be released on 10/23 via Rose's own SUCK records.
