Like a lot of the best things in life, the idea for this EP came in a dream - to make a song with a boss nova beat, and call it Caramel. The dream was expanded into a story, which flows through the tracks and tells the story of Caramel - a sweet tempered girl with a heart of gold and looks that could kill. From her introduction in 'Caramel' she seems to get in trouble with the law in the 70s film noir-tinged 'Bamboo'. By third track 'Bodhi Tree' she's seen the error of her ways and had a spiritual enlightening.
Musically the songs are a blend of Todd Terje and The Scissor Sisters, with a touch of Sophie-Ellis Bextor thrown in for glamour. And while it's not necessarily the most original thing you'll hear this week it should put a smile on your face and a spring in your step. The Acid Washed Remix of the title track is particularly good.
