Graphics by Teresa Yang The time has arrived once again folks - Sasquatch 2013 is just around the corner with a line-up that definitely won't disappoint! Located in scenic, central Washington along the Columbia River, this outdoor festival has long been an indie rock mecca for many. The venue itself features several stages, all of which are set along a majestic panorama of rolling hills and cliffs, providing the perfect backdrop for shows at the main Sasquatch Stage. Founded in 2002 by Pacific Northwest-based concert promoter, Adam Zacks, the festival began humbly as a one day [...]

CAVEMAN Caveman ( Fat Possum , 2013) par Eddie Pour avoir un blog musical, il faut avoir une bonne mémoire. Tu passes ton temps à te balader de site en site à absorber des tas et des tas de noms d'artistes, et le truc est de se rappeler de ce que tu avais aimé il y a un, deux, cinq ans pour cliquer là où [...]

Monday Music’s the one post where Some Of It Was True! drops its London-only rule. Valley Dweller - Another Night Valley Dweller is a 22yo LA guy who saw fit to send me this: a downtempo indie/dance/pop number that really works if you need something chill. Caveman - I See You There's a deep-breath, pretty feel to this track from the New Yorkers' second album, perfect for a Bank [...]

Does anyone remember the comedy " School of Rock " that came out in 2003. In the movie Jack Black poses as a substitute teacher to make some quick cash, but then soon discovers that his students have incredible musical talent. Those kids make it all the way to the battle of the bands and compete with this other group called No Vacancy . Now this other band is obviously way more talented then the kids, and they sound like they took music appreciation very seriously back in grade school. They just were not very exciting to listen to.

Frank Yang Objectively speaking, there's not a world of difference between Widowspeak's 2011 self-titled debut or the follow-up Almanac , released in January of this year. You can file them both quite comfortably under "the soundtrack to dreams of dusty country roads", not too far from lazy but not inaccurate reference points Mazzy Star and Cat Power, but something about Almanac grabs me the way that Widowspeak , as much as I dug it , didn't. And it's not something as simple as they're getting [...]

[photo courtesy of Will Oliver of We All Want Someone to Shout For ] Caveman has come a long way very quickly since we first saw them 18 months ago as an opening band at Cameo Gallery. At that show, opening for fellow quick-climbers The War On Drugs, it was fairly obvious that Caveman would be going places. A couple of months later they were playing larger gigs, and when their debut CoCo Beware was picked up by Fat Possum Records , the band went national. This [...]
Caveman headline Johnny Brenda's tonight in support of their self-titled sophomore effort. The Brooklyn band turned heads with their 20112s CoCo Beware debut, an album that displayed an affinity for theatrical synths and instrumental phrases threaded and revisited throughout the tracks. The four-piece employs that cohesiveness again on the new LP, with guitar riffs in lead single "In ... Continue reading

Caveman's largest hometown show in New York City came tonight at Webster Hall, and it was a good one. I've seen the band at nearly everyone of their NYC shows since their 2011 CMJ set at Glasslands that made me a fan. They have not let me down yet, and they seemingly just find ways to just get stronger and stronger. They're amazing. They did a good job combining the textures and context of both their excellent debut album CoCo Beware and their newly released self-titled album, which this show [...]

How do you improve on your absolute best? That's a question that drives the insanely ambitious to reach for the stars, and whether they hit their mark or not is not important. What matters is that the attempt is true and honest, and that the result portrays a pure vision of yourself. This is an issue that Caveman must have struggled with in the aftermath of their spectacular debut, CoCo Beware , because that collection of songs perfectly encompassed all of the band's strengths: pounding percussion contrasted by soaring four-part harmonies that [...]

Given and Taken in Ink's mixes rarely have any thematic connection, other than genre and the time when most of the songs are released. So far the lone exception was our most popular mix on 8tracks, Sad Songs for Summer (2012) . And while it wasn't quite intentional, The Beginning of Spring works in much the same way (albeit not sad, and not summer...but you get the picture). Due to the whole birth-of-first-child thing, I haven't really had a chance to feature some of the big albums that were released in [...]

As the days get longer and the frost-bitten climates of a prolonged winter slowly start to thaw, what the world needs is a healthy dose of something a little sunnier to complement the changing of the times. Cue Caveman and their self-titled sophomore LP. It might not quite crackle and blister with scorching heat, but this hazy slice of audible sunshine definitely washes over the listener with a flurry of heartfelt and feel-good fun. For the most part, the Brooklynites' latest offering is pretty straightforward and simple, but, despite its lightness, the record's combination of [...]
Caveman’s “Never Want To Know”, from the band’s just-released second album, taps into some of the hazy, bruised beauty of shoegaze in a mission to get lost in nothingness. “I never want to know if I was wrong for you”, sings Matthew Iwanusa, and I doubt ignorance has ever sounded quite this blissful. Though the lyrics nicely set the song’s mood, they’re a little thin; Caveman seem far more interested in taking out their delicate guitars for a graceful flight through the clouds. The sting of lost love is swallowed up by the calming majesty of the music. Still, the [...]
Caveman's “S/T” sophomore album captures the band's creative energy that we witnessed live at the Troubadour.
