Release and promotion
In June 2022, Rose announced that she would release her fifth studio album in March 2023.

In October 2022, the song "Love / Lover / Friend" was released. The New York Times called it one of the best songs of 2023, saying "In a flurry of plucked and orchestral strings, Caroline Rose affirms her love by ruling out other possibilities, then basks in wordless choral ecstasy."

This was followed by releases of "Miami", "The Doldrums", and "Tell Me What You Want". The latter and "Miami" were accompanied by music videos on Rose's YouTube channel. These form two chapters of a short film. Said film follows the story of Rose and her partner, portrayed by Massima Bell, and was filmed in Austin, Texas.

"The Doldrums" was released to YouTube and accompanied by a visualizer video.

The album was released in both digital and physical form on March 24, 2023. Copies of the album were sold on 12-inch LP vinyl (with editions including brown- and green-colored vinyl, and a special edition with a Lenticular Gatefold), compact disc, and bright green cassettes. Merchandise includes a promotional box of matches.

The packaging for The Art of Forgetting was nominated for Best Recording Package in the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which will take place on February 4, 2024.
