Light and Matter

On Light and Matter, Caroline Marie Brooks leans into earthy folk-pop full of nature, connection, and everyday wonder. Her second solo record finds comfort in green spaces, blue water, and the complicated beauty of living alongside others, with bright melodies and thoughtful writing at its centre.

The arrangements are intricate and gently percussive, shaped with producer Josh Van Tassel and instrumentalist Dean Drouillard, plus guests Christine Bougie and Colin Carbonera. Brooks writes about sisterhood, motherhood, friendship, and romance with warmth, clarity, and an open-hearted sense of presence.

Caroline Marie Brooks is a founding member of acclaimed folk trio Good Lovelies, who celebrate their 20th anniversary later this year. With multiple JUNO and Canadian Folk Music Awards, she has toured extensively across Canada, the US, and the UK. Light and Matter is an invitation into very good company.
