The London-based octet caroline has released ‘caroline 2 deluxe,’ an enhanced version of their semi-self-titled second album, which originally debuted in May. This edition includes seven new tracks that the band has referred to as “early iterations of the songs released on ‘caroline 2.’” The band expressed, “We have always appreciated the quality of recordings made on phones and portable mics: the casual and informal feel they provide, and how they tend to capture a more playful and exploratory approach during that essential writing phase, before a song solidifies into its final form. There's an element of mystery in these recordings that is unrepeatable and unreplicable.” Along with the demos for ‘When I get home’ and ‘Song two,’ the last track on this release, ‘greek2go,’ is also a phone recording. It was captured in what used to be an empty shell of a former Greek dark kitchen, which has now turned into their studio, featuring an improvisation with three guitars and vocals in a spacious, reverberant room. Although it didn’t make it onto the album, it’s a musical piece the band takes great pride in. Below, you can find the complete tracklist for ‘caroline 2 deluxe’ and check out the band's new live video for ‘Two riders down.’
