Info
On October 30, 2026, Caroline Rose lands at Rough Trade Bristol for a live set built around Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall. Based in LA and known for twisting everyday details into something slightly off-kilter, Rose pushes that instinct further on this record: taxi leftovers, midnight drive-thrus, strip-mall parking lots, all turned into a hyperreal slice of Americana where the ordinary keeps showing its underbelly.
Expect sharply observed, memoir-leaning songwriting that doesn’t stay in a neat frame, carried by wide guitar textures and hooks that hit with a strange clarity. Tracks like “Valery (please don’t be mad at me)” and “Cement Head” swing between menace, slapstick, and body-horror imagery, making the set feel like a chain of scenes you can almost see. It’s also a new chapter for an artist who’s moved from early folk and country roots into indie pop and rock, with a producer’s ear for shape-shifting arrangements—right in time for this album’s release.
