Caro Francis

Caro’s musical mission is to marry opposing forces. Chaos/control, the pretty/the ugly, the digital with the organic, the introspective with the overt and cheeky.

A keen musician from a young age, it was Caro’s father’s work as a forensic sound engineer that introduced her to the electronic side of audio. There was always a sense of fear-tinged fascination about the noises that would emanate from his home office: recordings from prison cells, planted cameras, phone and wire taps.

An internship with the ‘Snoops’, the federal police sound engineers, accidentally got Caro hooked on the production side of electronic music. When they didn’t have her soldering cables, they let her use their sound labs during lunch breaks. 

Perhaps surprisingly, Caro’s music counters this broody origin-story with a heavy dose of playful, infectious club tracks that feel simultaneously handmade and electronic. But then marrying opposing forces is her whole MO.
