The Caribbean

Artist- The Caribbean
Album- Discontinued Perfume
Label- Hometapes


Discontinued Perfume, the fifth album by D.C. art-pop trio The Caribbean, is a weirdly calming yet disjointed record. This album is all about singer Michael Kentoff’s pleasant storytelling lyrical style. The music itself is “chill” I suppose, yet at the same time it’s quirky and a little disquieting. Soft guitars arpeggios, weird handclaps and time signatures- yet none of it is jarring or experimental. I think the fact that it’s so normal and weird is what helps this band’s aesthetic.
