Caracol
Caracol‘s new album “Symbolism” is the sum of all her past musical experiences: her beginnings as a percussionist and back-up singer in reggae bands, her work as a sound engineer in film music, and more recently, her presence in the songwriting community and pop music writing camps, where she collaborates with some of the best beatmakers from around the world.
The 1st single from her new record, ”Flooded Field” feat. Illa J was released on Spotify with immediate impact, claiming spots on Canada’s biggest Spotify playlists (New Music Friday, Indie All Stars, Indie Pop Chillout, Evening Commute, etc) and quickly climbed to over 250 000 streams and then released to media world-wide.
”Flooded Field” feat. Illa J was subsequently added to countless more playlists by curators and playlisters such as Chillfiltr, Mystic Sons, The Feels, Artfaktor, Indeflagration, Queen City Sounds, KAO Magazine, Last Day Deaf, Jamspace, MusicLover, Skriber, SirChillicious, The Sound Sniffer, That Eric Alper and countless more.

BONG MINES
“...a worthwhile listening experience...musically on point ...it impressed me a great deal."
