caroline is an eight piece, based in London. Started by Jasper Llewellyn, Mike O'Malley, Casper Hughes in early 2017, caroline initially evolved out of weekly improvisation sessions. Bringing together shared influences in, and experiences of playing, midwestern ‘emo’ guitar music, Appalachian folk, minimalist classical and various forms of dance music.
The group spent a year and a half playing privately, without a project name. Reiterating, deconstructing and re-building the same small handful of songs over and over again, the group slowly expanded their on-stage members before playing their debut show as caroline in 2018. Expansive singles ‘Dark blue’ and ‘Skydiving onto the library roof’, as well as performances at End of The Road, Green Man and supporting the Microphones, have built them a strong cult following. caroline’s self-titled debut album was released to critical acclaim by Rough Trade Records on the 25th Feb 2022.
We're very excited to host Mike O'Malley of caroline as he leads us through a 4 hour deep dive into his record collection.
