One look at the Cave Singers' album cover tells what they're up to: with its see-through bubble letters and forest backdrop, the sleeve evokes the folk-rock mystics of the early '70s. So does the Seattle band's music, which stakes a northern outpost of the Banhart style filling L.A.'s canyons.
Seattle's CAVE SINGERS debut on Matador with a fascinatingly rural blend of homespun mystery and "folk music approached by way of punk rock, or an updated version of the Anthology of American Folk Music" to quote the Seattle Weekly.
