A haunting blend of atmospheric piano, sporadic guitars, and heartfelt vocals stir on “Isolation Inside,” a newly released single from Caroline in the Garden. Singer/songwriter and producer Caroline Milby caught our ears under the Carrie Stardust alias earlier this year, and now enamors with “Isolation Inside” under the Caroline in the Garden name. Milby describes this latest release as “about slowly growing apart.”
References to “what we do to survive,” signals a sense of urgency. “I wanted us to find a better way to be alright,” Milby’s vocals continue, cementing a sense of somberness and seeking answers; the introspective vocals prove commanding, set amidst a dreamily intriguing array of instrumentation that finds a balance of dream-pop atmospherics and singer/songwriter intimacy. “Isolation Inside” is another songwriting success from a project fronted by Caroline Milby.
