Los Angeles Free Music Society: Caroliner
Simply figuring out what incarnation of Caroliner one is having assault ear drums is difficult enough. Making it all the way through a recording is even more difficult, though.
As a latter day member of LAFMS, Caroliner doesn’t possess some of the traits common with better known groups from the collective. For instance, while there is a sense of repetition amidst the various compositions making up any long player from the group, there’s no semblance of a kraut influence. That, of course, doesn’t have any bearing on Caroliner’s membership (that’s probably not the right temr) in LAFMS, but it does set them apart.
But so too does the mythology behind the band.
