With a voice equal parts honeyed and world-weary, Caitlin Rose sings self-aware songs of self-destruction, documenting proclivity and impulse control, bad habits in life and in romantic pursuits. Her albums brim with incisive, well-observed tracks full of searching vulnerability, ruminating on the things done to us and the various coping mechanisms and behaviors we adopt to feel in control in their wake. A standout staple of Nashville’s rock scene, Rose is “witty, brilliant company” (Pitchfork) and a “promisingly wry lyricist” (The Guardian) with a “wily and impressive blend of melancholy and cheek.” (New York Times) On CAZIMI, Rose boldly dismisses the preconceived idea of what a “Caitlin Rose Album” should be. Instead, she skips across genres, combining new wave influences like Elvis Costello and Magnetic Fields with the pop stylings of Katrina and the Waves and the melancholy Americana of David Berman and Silver Jews alike into one cohesive mix-tape. But rather than disjointed parts, these songs form a cohesive, robust whole, reflecting the multifaceted complexity of a fully-realized person—even if things had to be pulled apart and put back together a few times to get there.

Dallas-reared singer/songwriter Andrew Combs relocated to Nashville to pursue music, bringing with him a knack for pairing contemporary indie Americana with golden-hued, vintage country-pop in the vein of Mickey Newbury, Harry Nilsson, and Townes Van Zandt. He released his debut album, Worried Man, in 2012. His fourth long-player, the vulnerable Ideal Man, tweaked his sound with synths and distortion in 2019.

After arriving in Nashville, Andrew Combs released his debut EP, Tennessee Time, independently in 2010. The collection garnered positive reviews, and by 2012 Combs had inked a publishing deal with Razor & Tie and issued his debut full-length album, Worried Man. The following year saw Combs hit the road with Caitlin Rose and Shovels & Rope, and in 2015 he released his sophomore long-player, All These Dreams, via Coin Records. After signing with New West, he returned in 2017 with Canyons of My Mind, following it a year later with the EP Andrew Combs Sings 5 Covers and a Song.
