The Guilford duo of Nick Wilson and Lucy Benton initially pricked ears in the early summer days of 2011. Demos ‘Here To Me’ and ‘Sleep’ seemed to encapsulate the duos lo-fi, shaoegazing sound.

Then, after only a few tentative live performances, they seemingly disappeared without a trace. Fast-forward a year then and they’re back with three extra band members, and more importantly, a new demo to their name.

While not straying too far from their original sound, Wilson’s explosively warped guitars propel ‘Stay With Me’ into new levels of sheer intensity, dangerously teetering along a thin line that nears breaking point.

If the high paced world of new music, 12 months is a long time away for anyone. But fans will soon forget that if Carousels’ future material is on par with what has come before it.
