About Caroline Loveglow

Isolation is a familiar feeling for Caroline Loveglow. Even before the world shut down, her meditative dream-pop music was informed by long nights she would spend at home getting lost in her head. Sitting in front of her computer, she’d twist and contort familiar sounds—stretching out a piano into an unearthly drone or swirling guitar parts together through pillowy clouds of distortion and reverb. Her vocals and incredibly honest lyrics float above it all, as she ponders existential questions, mulls inner turmoils, and wonders what it really means to be “human”. “Patience Etc...” shows the power of this approach. Over dizzy synthesizers and a pummeling breakbeat, she explores psychological and romantic anxieties, asking questions and expressing the complicated thoughts that sneak up on her late at night. The song ascends, suggesting there are ways to work through one’s darkest moments- “There’s this sort of melancholy feeling that’s been present since I was little,” she explains. “I fight with it all the time, but I don’t think I would be able to write without it.” Caroline uses music as a vessel to understand herself. Growing up in San Diego, she discovered guitar at age 7 and a love for poetry that eventually led to songwriting by 12. Inspired by both the textured and emotional music her Mom showed her (Radiohead, Neil Young) and her own favorite at the time (The Cure), her earliest songs were small poems she’d set to a few chords in her bedroom. Even then, it was a way of trying to process the complexities of the world; and it was just for her. Caroline cut her teeth at open mics around the city, and as a teenager, she started the first version of what would eventually become Caroline Loveglow. Her music crystallized, as she took the work entirely into her own hands. She now writes and produces everything. She’s obsessively captivated by the intricacies of cascading rhythms and abstract, ambient soundscapes- crediting Brian Eno as a major influence. Caroline eventually landed on this misty, otherworldly sound that spans across her new album “Strawberry” out now.
