Berlin-based Carolina Lee has conjured a luxuriant, introspective world with their sophomore album, It’s Still Now. This four-piece band, led by the evocative voice of Nadja Carolina, crafts a dreamy, irresistible, timeless, and immediate blend of psychedelic folk and dream pop music. With rich textures, intricate arrangements, and a lyrical depth that explores themes of loss, renewal, and fleeting hope, It’s Still Now is a profoundly emotive, mesmerizing full-length that will immediately resonate with even the pickiest music enthusiasts. From the moment the album begins, Carolina Lee’s sound feels like stepping into a hazy reverie. The echoic ambiance of jangly guitars and angular riffs creates a soft, hypnotic backdrop that draws the listener in. The guitars weep and shimmer, their tones steeped in reverb and warmth, evoking a melancholic beauty reminiscent of 90s dream pop and 70s singer-songwriter ballads. There’s a cinematic quality to the arrangements, with sounds that seem to stretch infinitely, creating an otherworldly landscape of nostalgia and introspection.
