Realising that he couldn’t play these songs alone, in 2014 he enrolled at Leeds College Of Music specifically to find a band.

Alongside co-producer \/ mixer Hugo Meredith- Hardy, they set about recording Adam’s febrile, writhing, esoteric songs – songs walking a high-wire over the bubbling morass of modern alt-rock – while trying to find entirely new ways of making guitar music sound like a merging of the human and the technological.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the first results of Caro’s bedroom alchemy reached the internet, it sounded like the next generation of 21st Century post-pop.
