"The Doldrums" is the kind of track that refuses to be limited by the boundaries of genres, to the point where you'll be left dumbfounded trying to categorize this.
I hear bits of Connan Mockasin, Bon Iver, and even Fiona Apple in the latest body of work by Caroline Rose. The U.S.-based artist creates an eerie atmosphere with her haunting vocals and experimental soundscapes here and that makes for quite a compelling build-up.
When the drums eventually roll in, the track bursts to life and this is further complemented by the presence of a beefy bass line. The wait for the climax is long but CERTAINLY worth it.
