Caroline McLavy - Electrostatic (2013)

Dancepop delights from the grassroots electronic scene… The domestic electronic music scene has been rapidly evolving in recent years as the next generation of musicians step up with their own approach to synthpop. This can take many forms, often taking influences from a broader range of artists than simply the classic period of the 1980s. Or simply crafting effective electronic music from good melodies and rhythms.

Emerging from the Leicester music scene, Caroline McLavy has a background in running rehearsal rooms in her home city for a number of years. Although she’s used to working with rock outfits, her heart was always drawn to the more electronic end of the musical spectrum.

Electrostatic came together over a long period of time and features 11 tracks that revolve around traditional themes such as relationships, anxiety issues and frustration. As an album, it’s peppered with synth hooks, emotive melodies and simply good danceable rhythms.

Co-produced with Richard Henderson, Electrostatic’s main direction is simple solid electropop. But at times there’s a much more subtle use of music composition at work. There’s a clever use of counter melodies in places and a sharp ear for the use of additional electronic elements at the right spots. ~ PaulB
