SEIZING our attention with their deeply nuanced and intelligent debut single, we are hugely excited to welcome hotly tipped Leeds outfit Caro to this year’s Tenement Trail.
The band have now followed up the brilliant ‘Closet Lunatic’ with another exquisite offering in ‘Eyes On The Ground’. Propelled by a throbbing bassline, the track twists and swells through jittery melodies, syncopated guitar lines and a wonderfully warm and melodious lead vocal.
Reminiscent of Alt-J when they first burst onto the scene and fellow art-poppers Everything Everything, Caro are able to make entirely unique soundscapes that display a sublime command of their craft. Highly infectious yet intricately crafted, they instil their ear-worm melodies with a small dose of social commentary as singer Adam explains: “It’s about the guilt associated with an indifference to social injustices that don’t directly affect you and how that indifference and lack of taking any action or even speaking out against it is basically a compliance with anyone who’s causing it in the first place.”
A new video has arrived for the track which sees a man trying to break out from his squalor surroundings through the art of dance . Joining an array of some of the UK’s most exciting fresh talent, Caro play Tenement Trail on Saturday 30th September. Get your tickets here.
Meanwhile, check out the new video below.
