Caro - Cold Comfort

Some new bands require a full-length to showcase their full potential, which makes Caro’s early steps even more remarkable. On ‘Cold Comfort’, the Leeds group swing branches between softly-softly serenades and a dizzying, harsh to-and-fro. They can go from sweet-natured cubs to rabid beasts with the flick of a switch, and it’s the kind of Jeykll and Hyde dynamic that should work wonders across a full album.

Let’s not get carried away - Caro are a long way from that landmark moment. But making a record can sometimes feel like extracting blood from a stone, whereas this trio already sound like they’re packing wonders up their sleeves.
