Favorite Quote:
“I have slept in a hundred islands
where books were trees. 
I have heard the birds
that sound like bells.

and walked upon the beach of hell.”

II: void

on the subject of honouring, and without saying too much: i think sometimes meditating long and hard on the absence of something or someone is a powerful (if paradoxical) thing. 

everything that is will eventually not be - or, nearly as certainly, might have never been - and yet, the non-existence of anything implies its existence all the same.. 

theres something beautiful in that to me - to contemplate the absence of a thing is really to contemplate the thing. 

we cannot imagine ourselves without it. 

how tragically and beautifully identified we are, then, with the absolute fluke that was everything leading to us being alive right now.

how precious to hold.

happy equinox, growth, etc.
❤

monument II

"Explorative, sub-heavy drifters and creepers from Caro, channeling heavyweight soundsystem sonics as much as organic, airy texture and atmospherics, conjured up in Sinixt Territory // British Columbia, for our friends at Limbo Tapes here in Bristol >>

What a killer tape this is, quite possibly one of our faves on the label so far (and there have been many gems) - Across 12 cuts, ranging from ethereal and shape-shifting, to dank and heavy, Caro lays down a full-length trip through warped sounds for reminiscence, and forward-gazing alike.

Perfect music for the autumnal shifts with the sun vanishing behind misty clouds, but equally something for a late, dark night inside."

Since releasing their debut LP Lowlands with Limbo Tapes in 2021, Caro has been refining a highly textural, loop-oriented style of composition. Smoked-out sequencing combines with faded percussion in a dimly shrouded melancholy. Field recordings nod ceremoniously into sub-infused harmonics. Technical considerations yield, letting a refined attunement to the aesthetic quality of music take the helm.
Caro has shared sounds at a variety of acclaimed and forward thinking festivals across North America, including a notable live hardware performance at Mutek in 2022. They have been booked to play alongside talents like Space Afrika, DJ Plead, Ulla, Loraine James, Azu Tiwaline and Phelaeh, and continue to transform and blur the boundaries between ambient meditation and experimental bass music via their radio show The Tea since 2018. 
Their most recent album Nods of Infinite Tenderness was released independently in 2023.
