Nashville-based singer/songwriter, brother bird has released “something better” and announced her full-length album, another year due March 8, 2024, via Easy Does It Records.

“something better” was written “from deep and desolate despair” and this song “transmuted grim feelings into creativity.” Satirical lyrics become like “armor” against the harsh realities of life.

The album another year was co-Produced and written by Caroline, while working with producer Owen Lewis. Under the surface lies a common theme of “waiting for something to happen.”  

Though many of the songs on the album deal with the human themes of struggling with challenges in life, brother bird also includes “famous” which addresses her first taste of success after appearing on national television as a younger artist.

She recalls:

I have around ten versions of this song, it was going to be on my first, self-titled EP from 2018.

After multiple rewrites and sessions with different producers, it finally branched out into a “commentary on self-doubt and the crippling anxiety that can come packaged with a certain level of fame.”

Caroline has toured with Manchester Orchestra on their co-headlining tour with The Front Bottoms and has opened up for artists such as Pete Yorn, Cavetown, Pinegrove, and Bad Books, a band led by Kevin Devine and members of Manchester Orchestra. In addition, Caroline sang back-vocals on the Bad Books II: Revisited anniversary record that was released in October and they just announced Caroline as a new band member.
