Ever evolving London-based eight-piece ensemble caroline return with their first new music in three years. “The first record was a compilation, but this one is a declaration,” says Jasper Llewellyn. Fleshed out over several songwriting trips across Scotland, France and England, caroline’s second album picks up where its predecessor left off, but in many, many others, it finds them breaking new ground. It makes for a record of extraordinary scope – where the organic and the artificial, the harsh and the beautiful, the pristine and the hazy all clash and combine.
‘Tell me I never knew that’ welcomes a new voice entirely in Caroline Polachek. A mutual fan, Polachek agreed not only to contribute to a song, but to push it even further. “She was a force to be reckoned with,” says O’Malley. “She was singing for five or six hours, writing new harmonies.”
On caroline 2, what were once incidental moments have become an intentional centerpiece. On ‘Coldplay cover’ (a joke name that ended up sticking), half of the band started playing in their manager’s living room, the other half in the kitchen, while engineer Syd Kemp physically took a microphone from one room to the other.
There are many other worlds to be found across this record –There are earthly sweeps of strings, starkly manipulated vocals, low resonant drones, fractured snippets of field recordings and a great heaving sound – heavily distorted acoustic instruments.
Constantly shifting, but consistently magnificent

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
Shipping, Returns & Cancellations
SHIPPING:
We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.
Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.
RETURNS:
Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.
If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
