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 Embrace The Good Will Out Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th March 2020 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Embrace The Good Will Out £24.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: EMB2001 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th March 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bell X1 Neither Am I Rock And Pop | Universal Music | 1LP Released 7th August 2020 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bell X1 Neither Am I £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Universal Music SKU: 854797 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Spice Girls Forever – 20 year Anniversary Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 20th November 2020 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Spice Girls Forever – 20 year Anniversary £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: SGF20TH Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th November 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gun Club, The Miami Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 4th November 2015 £17.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gun Club, The Miami £17.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP505 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 4th November 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Levellers Letters from the Underground – Indies Only Rock And Pop | On The Fiddle | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 26th October 2018 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Levellers Letters from the Underground – Indies Only £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: On The Fiddle SKU: OTFLP3 Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 26th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Death Cab For Cutie Kintsugi Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes CD Released 29th April 2015 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Death Cab For Cutie Kintsugi £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic SKU: 0075678670015 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes CD Released Date: 29th April 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Panic!
