Moving beyond the surf-folk foundations of her debut, on No Fool… Sallee loosens her earthly tether, allowing her songs to float to ever higher altitudes on clouds of loops, immaculate melodies, and hypnotic harmonies, as she sings about aging, the daily grind, and hometown stymie. Moving to Austin in 2013 gave her a new perspective on her hometown of Huntsville, Alabama, which informed the overall vibe of the album. “I think leaving my fairly small hometown and then going back to visit it inspired the feeling I went for on this album. I observed that so many people I knew were content doing basically nothing. Or that they were scared to try to do anything or leave town, like they felt stuck there.” The first few notes of the Daniel Rossen-esque opener “First Song” dutifully establish the surreal and slightly tragic tone of longing maintained throughout the album. The curiously upturning melodies ride out on a rich ambient texture before “Sweet Home Alabama” cuts the fog with a crackling 60’s soul loop that’s charming and catchy enough to induce a cathartic laugh from the listener. The brightness fades with the frosty and propulsive “A Good Thief Steals Clean,” which features lyrics inspired by the 1971 lm Panic in Needle Park, and the idea of being in love with a heroin addict. “I tend to write from the perspectives of characters in dark situations, even though my songs may sound bright,” Sallee notes of her alluring juxtaposition of sunny production and grim lyrics. She employs this dynamic again on “Rip O?,” a frenetically percussive song with lyrics inspired by an NPR story about a young Iraqi man who was killed in an ISIS bombing just before moving to NYC to become a professional dancer. Inspired by Terrence Malick’s Badlands and Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska,” the song “Black Hole” features multi-voice harmonies sung from the perspective of 50’s spree killer Charles Starkweather. The hurdles she navigated to record naturally led to ad hoc recording techniques, and endless sonic experimentation, often leading to her use of the computer as an instrument. A tireless worker, and a wellspring of creativity, whatever Caroline Says, we will be listening. “She makes music not unlike Jessica Pratt or Tiny Vipers, atmospheric folk that envelops you.” Pitchfork “…brilliant debut album…” Impose Magazine “An auspicious debut.” Vice “…Caroline Sallee dives into lovelorn wistfulness like an Olympian…” Rolling Stone Artist Caroline Says Genre Rock And Pop Label Western Vinyl Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 01 First Song 3:55 02 Sweet Home Alabama 3:22 03 Mea Culpa 2:54 04 A Good Thief Steals Clean 2:35 05 Rip O? 3:40 06 Black Hole 2:31 07 Cool Jerk 3:03 08 I Tried 3:39 09 Lone Star Tall Boy 3:36 Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Mark Chadwick Moment Rock And Pop | On The Fiddle | 1LP Released 16th June 2014 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Chadwick Moment £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: On The Fiddle SKU: OTFLP020 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Samantha Crain A Small Death Rock And Pop | Communion | 1LP Released 17th July 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Samantha Crain A Small Death £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Communion SKU: RR214316 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th July 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Placebo Without You I’m Nothing Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 23rd September 2015 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Placebo Without You I’m Nothing £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4727538 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 23rd September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ballroom Thieves, The Unlovely Rock And Pop | Nettwerk | 1LP Released 14th February 2020 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ballroom Thieves, The Unlovely £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Nettwerk SKU: 0067003122313 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Brian Auger & The Trinity Far Horizons Rock And Pop | Soul Bank Music | 5LP, Box Set Released 16th September 2022 £79.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Brian Auger & The Trinity Far Horizons £79.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Soul Bank Music SKU: SBM28 Formats: 5LP, Box Set Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Craig David 22 Rock And Pop | BMG | 1LP Released 13th May 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Craig David 22 £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538760606 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View David Gray Mutineers Rock And Pop | IHT Records | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 27th June 2014 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders David Gray Mutineers £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: IHT Records SKU: IHTLP1403 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 27th June 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Suzie Ungerleider My Name is Suzie Ungerleider Rock And Pop | MVKA | 1LP Released 13th August 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Suzie Ungerleider My Name is Suzie Ungerleider £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: MVKA SKU: 0190296792168 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 13th August 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Dylan The Greatest Thing I’ll Never Learn Rock And Pop | Island | 1LP Released 28th October 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dylan The Greatest Thing I’ll Never Learn £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Island SKU: 4809137 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 28th October 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Izzy Stradlin Ju Ju Hounds Rock And Pop | Music On Vinyl | 180g, 1LP Released 11th December 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Izzy Stradlin Ju Ju Hounds £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Music On Vinyl SKU: MOVLP1386 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 11th December 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
