Following the release of their timeless debut LP, we welcome back the extraordinary London-based eight piece, caroline, as part of Luminate. Always a must-watch, the band’s sound traverses through post-rock, emo, folk and minimalist classical, yet the end destination is something entirely unique.

caroline are an eight piece band from London who touch on post-rock, emo, folk, and minimalist classical, focusing on space: both what can be achieved in negative, and how it can be populated by texture and rhythm.

‘Part of what makes their music so transfixing is the way it ebbs and flows, the way repeated riffs can so slowly and simply build into something so staggeringly moving.’ The Quietus

Co-presented by Kings Place and Bird on the Wire.
