Caroline in the Garden
Act Two
In 2024 I—a wife, mother and attorney, long-obedient to societies’ rules for me— leapt, terrified, from the capitalist conveyor belt to make my own unique way in the world.
It was scary and invigorating to redefine myself in a way that had no firm boundaries or guaranteed social acceptance. Act Two is a sonic exploration of that fear, freedom and wild femininity that I felt.
Sound wise, I’m heavily influenced by the distinguished piano motifs of Tori Amos, the irreverence of Fiona Apple, and the exquisite way Kate Bush envelops and accents her piano with unexpected synth lines!
I call it unhinged art pop.
The album was recorded at Tweed Studios in Athens Georgia, with the guidance of Grammy-Award winning producer John Snyder, and the assistance of Improvement Movement’s Clark Hamilton on guitar, bass and drums.
