Toronto-based CAIRO describe their music as "taunting, sardonic, cynical, and idealistic".
Over in Canada, the five piece band are signed to Toronto based indie MapleMusic Recordings (who also released Radiohead's In Rainbows and helped build the careers of Tegan and Sara) but hit the UK recently for a series of shows to showcase debut record A History of Reasons.
We caught up with CAIRO's Nate Daniels and Caitlin Grieve in Brighton ahead of their show at The Great Escape Festival earlier this year to cut an intense and dramatic take of the album's title track.
