As you grow up, the world loses some colour. If this sentiment rings true to you, but you’re ready to heal your inner child with vibrant indie pop, oh caroline’s monochrome is beckoning.

Originally composed of Winnipeg’s Lhasa Petik and Boston’s William Breeuwsma (of Towerz), oh caroline’s debut album welcomes Hanz’s Thomas Bråttvik to the mix — a chill-hop extraordinaire known for crafting lush, atmospheric beats. This collaboration merges the multi-genre specialities of the international trio into a coming-of-age soundtrack that’s anything but black and white. Teeming with tenderness and wonder, monochrome sounds like driving through the back roads of your hometown with your head out the window, just to feel the full force of something; to awaken and let go.

Throughout the journey, Breeuwsma and Bråttvik masterfully blend warm, familiar folk acoustics with experimental pop beats to create soundscapes worth getting lost in. Infused with Patik’s beguiling vocals and poetic reflections, monochrome simultaneously transcends the boundaries of genre and shrinks us all down to size: synthesizing the human experience of looking at adolescence in the rearview.
