The Cave Singers
released their 3rd album this week,
No
Witch, on
Bon Iver’s independent Jagjaguar label. It follows in
the footsteps of their previous releases, further
honing their rootsy folk-Americana sound, but with
more variety in their delivery (touches of a
harmonium, viola, gospel singers, etc) and a deeper,
richer sound coaxed out of the studio. All three of
their albums form a cohesive vibe that alternates
between sunny & optimistic and spooky &
droning -- a vibe I better grasped after seeing them
perform their songs live on stage in Bellingham,
Washington last fall. I was most impressed by the
amount of gravitas and a sense of restrained, almost
throttled, power that seethed from the singer’s
delivery. Their music gave the sense of something
desperate or unbalanced lurking just beneath the
simple surfaces of their songs.
Here is a video I shot and edited from their performance:
And here is a sampler mix of five songs from No Witch to whet your appetite:
