caroline + Nina Garcia | Brighton
caroline Brighton
caroline live in Brighton at Chalk on 17th February 2026! Get tickets above, or from SeeTickets.
Returning with ‘caroline 2’, the eight-piece collective embrace a bolder, more expansive sound. Going beyond their debut’s explorations of repetition, slowness and space, the new album pushes further into dynamic contrasts — organic and electronic, raw and refined. Launched with the striking single ‘Tell me I never knew that’, featuring Caroline Polachek’s unmistakable vocals, caroline 2 showcases a fearless interplay of layered instrumentation, warped vocal processing, and moments of both euphoria and melancholy. Intentional and immersive, this next chapter solidifies caroline as one of the most innovative voices in contemporary music. Catch their powerful live show on tour. https://caroline.bandcamp.com/album/caroline-2
+ Nina Garcia: Born in 1990, lives and works in Paris. Since 2015, Nina Garcia has been researching and creating around the electric guitar, halfway between improvised music and noise. Her set up is reduced to a minimum: a guitar, a pedal, an amp with which she sculpts sound and delves into chaos to bring out the unheard-of. Her concerts draw audiences into an immersive sonic space where power and fragility intersect with communicative intensity. In just a
few years, she has attracted the attention of numerous international stages.
Her solo work focuses on gesture and research into the instrument, its resonances, its limits, its extensions, its impurities, its audible corners: working with or against it, containing it or letting it sound, supporting it or assault it. A duo rather than a solo, it stuns with its blend of technical mastery and total freedom. A convergence of wildness and tenderness with her instrument, a tense corps à corps between two vibrant souls for a music and choreography of raw poetry.
