Iwasn’t planning to write today, it’s Saturday. Strange, I never used topay that much attention to the working world’s bowel movements. Iplanned to make some noises of my own, maybe take a walk… I put the newCave Singers record on while I checked my email (it’s a disease) andbought some new guitar strings on Ebay (sorry local guitar shop dude,but they’re half the price and they don

New WaxSometimes it's nice to have a respite from all the sad-bastard music I embrace, and while Seattle trio The Cave Singers tackle both joy and sorrow on their new album Welcome Joy, the band's energy is enough to put a permanent smile on your face. The band rose from the ashes of Pretty Girls Make Graves when former member Dave Fudesco teamed up with Pete Quirk of Hint Hint and Marty Lund o...

Matador Records has released a second mp3 from the Cave Singers’ forthcoming album Welcome Joy (due out Aug. 18).The track is At the Cut – the first song released was Beach House – and it’s one of the (many) highlights off an album that didn’t take very long to impress me. At the Cut is [...]

The Cave Singers’ sound has certainly developed since their successful 2007 debut album, Invitation Songs. Recorded in Vancouver, Welcome Joy, exhibits more variety than their original signature blend of Americana meets English folk. The alt-county nasal vocal and laid-back slide guitar picking are still there from the outset. The opening track, ‘Summer Light’, is comforting…

The Cave Singers attain an unheralded harmony between the back porch and the road on their sophomore masterpiece.I first heard the Cave Singers in Neumo’s, a small, sweaty bar in Seattle. The in-house DJ was spinning in anticipation of a gut-busting rock 'n' roll powerhouse out of Detroit. As the crowd continued to grow, the DJ kept the blood flowing with some pretty meaty selections. Then, as .

Though The Cave Singers gained initial notoriety as an offshoot of art-punk group Pretty Girls Make Graves (and to a lesser extent Murder City and Hint Hint), it didn’t take long for their debut album, Invitation Songs, to make a deeper impression. I found myself only marginally drawn in to the band’s folky Americana style – uncharacteristic of their lineage – and while much of the critica

No, not Nick Cave's new backing band, Seattle's The Cave Singers have crafted a rich and rewarding second album.

The title Welcome Joy can be read in a variety of differing ways; a sanctimonious religious command, an open-armed embrace or a positive observation concerning happiness perhaps. The Cave Singers’ sophomore album manages to convey the latter two without pretension, providing a lush and melodic listen. Former Pretty Girls Make Graves bassist Derek Fudesco has [...]

Another night of music supplied by the mystical black hole of Mohawk Place. I was first drawn to the April 5th date due to Dr. Dog, a band I've heard good things about but haven't spent the time to digest. So I was already sold on going. Then, to my surprise I learned there would be not one, but two openers! Yes, two openers whom I knew nothing about and two openers whom I, after looking them u...

THE CAVE SINGERSOnce again, another track that has latched on to me and I can't seem to shake it. Like an ugly dog that your parents gave you because they thought that you could use some responsibility in life but all you really wanted was pizza and some beer. Wow, anyway, Seattle's The Cave Singers consist of, I don't know, some people I assume. They probably play instruments. Can you tell ...
