Indie singer-songwriter Caroline Rose has revealed plans for their fifth studio record. The Art of Forgetting will drop on March 24th via New West Records and will comprise 14 new tracks. For those anticipating its arrival, a new audio/visual package from the record has just been released. Check out “Miami” below:
Regarding the above acoustic-led track, Rose explains: “I’m not one to shy away from drama, and so this was a perfect opportunity to really bring out every ounce of desperation and anger and all those confusing emotions that happen after a big heartbreak.”
“For the ‘Miami’ video, I was mainly focused on what would be the most effective way to move people in regards to the two characters and how they interact,” says Rose. “Because this is a sort of loose recreation of some things in my life it was important to me to interpret the feeling of that time as accurately as we could within four minutes’ time. Sam, who is a dear friend of mine and brilliant director, thought a great way to capture that fever-dream-like quality was to create a lot of movement with a continuous shot. He showed me different lenses and cameras to use and we ultimately went with an anamorphic, Old Hollywood-esque feel, which gives it that nostalgia thinking back on a time past.”
They started recording the album in their home studio, and “from there it was about a year of experimenting with those recordings both at home and in a couple other studios–chopping them up into loops and smears, creating modular percussion, and ultimately building any additional parts around them,” says Rose. “Every time I make an album I’ll come out of it learning a lot about myself … Now I look back and see the healing of a wound. I feel like a new version of myself. I think one for the better.”
