Caro♡ – in2u

caro♡’s new album wild at ❤ came out earlier this month on PC Music; a fact that should either have you intruiged or running for the hills depending on your relationship with the label and tolerance for sleek hyperpop and heart emojis. I really liked her last album Heartbeats/Heartbreaks, but this is a very different beast, leaning heavily into the ‘hyper’ of hyperpop where her debut was actually pretty chilled for the most part. Nothing here is going to persuade you of the merits of PC Music if you’ve previously taken against them, but those in the market for a saccharine hit of romantic electronics need look no further.

caro♡ – drop in the ocean

I remember a time when the mere mention of PC Music could illicit conflicting moans – of either rapturous pleasure or abject despair – from people I had previously thought were fairly aligned on what they considered Good Music. What feels like decades later but what in reality is probably only a few years, a quite brilliant album from caro♡ (the lead singer of Planet 1999 which was PC Music’s first full band signee), has flown relatively under the radar, which is a shame as it’s a really joyful thing, with enough glossy cartoonish bounce to satisfy the PC purists, and enough genuinely thoughtful and subtle moments to stop anyone getting too angry about it. drop in the ocean is definitely one of the calmer moments, evoking Selected Ambient Works Volume II-era Aphex, albeit backed up with some dappled, shoegazey beats.
