Fresh off a run supporting Modest Mouse, Caroline Rose is gearing up for their first-ever Australian shows, with the newly released, Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall, in tow. Built on instinct, absurdist humour and a deep well of feeling, the record is the first release on their own label, SUCK Records, and finds Rose embracing the dumb, the strange and the theatrical. Ahead of their debut Sydney and Melbourne shows, Caroline spoke with Kade about the energy between a band and a crowd, finally putting “Yip Yip Yow” on a record, learning to trust producer John Congleton, and chasing the one song that will outlive them.
