Trailblazing artist, carolesdaughter (aka Thea Taylor), who V Magazine recently praised as “[spearheading] the next generation of alt-pop music,” releases her latest alternative anthem today titled “please put me in a medically induced coma” accompanied by an electric, modern-meets-cyber punk official music video. Watch HERE.
The video was directed by Anastasia Lebedeva Delmark (Shaun Ross, Chazzy L), who takes the viewer along Thea’s journey of her own emotional hell, diving into her subconsciousness while showcasing her iconic style. Penned by Thea, the track, as well as the video, explores her experiences with mental health, and the ways in which she is sometimes able, or unable to cope.
Thea says, “’please put me in a medically induced coma’ was the anthem my friends and I would sing when I was in treatment. I wrote it when I was there, and we would just sing it all the time. It’s one of my favorite songs to sing because of the lyrics. ‘I can’t hurt if I’m in a dream’ is one of my favorite lines because it captures the feeling of needing an escape.”
“please put me in a medically induced coma” follows the release of “Trailer Trash” in April, which NYLON supported by calling Thea a “confident creator.” KERRANG! proclaimed that she is “alterative music’s compelling new star.”

After buzzing with early releases, “cold bathroom floor” and “my mother wants me dead,” carolesdaughter wrote viral success “Violent” over a somber beat laden with 808s and creaky acoustic guitar. She uploaded it to Soundcloud, and it quickly racked up two million streams. Now, the track has over 320 million streams across all platforms and landed at Top 15 on U.S. Alternative Radio.
This summer, Thea will embark on a headline ‘Parking Lot’ tour across the country, in advance of opening for Coheed and Cambria & The Used this fall, as well as for Machine Gun Kelly’s anticipated ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ tour. See all dates below.
about carolesdaughter
carolesdaughter transmutes turbulence into strangely soothing alternative pop anthems awash in lo-fi glitch, bedroom acoustics, and gutter goth elegance. Like a fairy tale heroine with facial piercings and D.I.Y. spikes affixed to her shoes, the 18-year-old Southern California singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist born Thea Taylor immediately captivates without fear or filter. An outsider since birth, she grew up as one of 10 kids in a strict Mormon household. After seeing a tattoo of the iconic logo, she researched Black Flag online and unlocked the worlds of punk, hardcore, and goth. Bouncing between five different high schools, she started doing drugs, falling down a rabbit hole and taking multiple trips to rehab. On the last trip, she made a promise to pursue music upon returning home and ended up making major waves with the single “violent.” Amassing millions of streams independently and landing a deal with Arista Records, carolesdaughter makes an immediate connection on a series of singles and her forthcoming 2021 debut.
