Tickets for Caroline Rose at MBT on Sale Now in Tandem with New Single/Video, “Valery (please don't be mad at me)” , Video for “Yip Yip Yow” Starring Mary Elizabeth Ellis, & New Album

Bellingham, WA — Caroline Rose announces a North American headline tour with tickets on sale now! The 2027 North American tour runs from February 26th to May 20th, including a stop in Bellingham at the Mount Baker Theatre for one night only on Wednesday, March 3.

On Tuesday, October 20th, Rose released “Valery (please don't be mad at me),” the final preview from their new album, Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall, out now via SUCK records, and a live video for lead single and longtime fan favorite “Yip Yip Yow.” “Valery (please don't be mad at me)” is a crooner-inspired ode to a lost friend. Rose reflects, “A lot of this record pulls from stories from my hometown and fuses them with other stories from when I lived in NYC, so some characters might be a mix of two or three different people.

‘Valery’ is a combination of my best friend from my hometown, who passed away from a heroin overdose many years ago, along with another friend I loved so much who also became addicted to heroin and just had a really difficult life. I gravitate toward people in my life who have struggled, and they often come out as characters in my songs.”

As with “Hello Again, Jim,” Tuesday’s videos were directed by Chloé Aktaş and filmed at Permanent Records. Aktas elaborates, “Our Director of Photography, Ariano Treviño Angelone, had the idea that Caroline is singing to only one person in the audience – Valery. Inspired by the lyrics ‘we both look different but our love remains the same’ and the reference to Andromeda, I imagined Valery as an alien from one of Saturn’s icy moons. T Marsh designed the creature using Enceladus as inspiration for its color and texture.”

“Valery (please don’t be mad at me)” follows “Hello Again, Jim,” which Rolling Stone calls a “hooky invective against toxic music industry dudes” and the “deeply satisfying” (Riff Magazine) “Calm.”

“Yip Yip Yow” was released this past summer and is Rose’s first song to become a Top 25 Billboard AAA and Top 25 Mediabase AAA hit through programmer support alone. The song’s live video features Mary Elizabeth Ellis of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Aktas comments, “I was instantly obsessed with this song and its undeniable kinetic energy. I imagined Carol as a menacing cowboy performing at a dive-bar talent show, slowly winning over an unenthusiastic audience. I wanted to create a strange little pocket of Americana filled with unconventional talents and eccentric characters.”

Working with producer John Congleton, Rose built Gentling the Horse at the Walt Whitman Mall through humor, layering, and instinct rather than polish. It pairs sharply observed, memoiristic songwriting with expansive guitar textures that render the everyday with violent clarity and mythic scale. Beneath its melodic sweep and signature hooks runs a current of violence and American dream leakage. It’s Ennio Morricone with an AR15: surf guitars, spaghetti westerns, and suburban dread colliding until they become their own sharp vernacular. Rose plays the Hollywood Bowl tonight at the tail end of an extensive tour supporting Modest Mouse throughout the U.S. and Canada. They kick off a Rough Trade in-store tour next week in New York City.
