Listening to Cave takes me to another place - like a club circa 1972 watching Krautrockers Can perform . Jeff Tweedy tips his hat to Neu! and the Krautrock sound but Cave lives it. The Chicagoans are still promoting their excellent 2011 release Neverendless , and they play a show at Empty Bottle Saturday night. The show is free if you RSVP before midnight tonight. Send an email to rsvp@emptybottle.com .
The digital label/music collective, Absent Fever , is teaming up with the physical label, JAXART records , to present their first ever physical release.

.. . Beach House - "Myth" - mp3 Holy Hell! How absolutely perfect is this new track from Beach House? That was rhetorical. As soon as I post this I'm pre-ordering Bloom which will come out in it's most-likely epic entirety on may 15th. New Beach House; check. Summer playlist; Check. Fulfilled heart; Check. Make [...]
The Discotexas edit of Astrolabe's hummer "Cave Disco" is like your favourite pair of kicks that always equate to a boogie no matter the circumstances. It's got that early 80s electro-pop feel with a slight spin towards the riskay... like a walk on the wild side with Moullinex describing it as "Undercover Agent Disco". The edit finds itself at home on Discotexas' Bucket of Love Vol 2 Buy Beatport written by Ubbs
When You Were Partying, I Was Dying. by CAVES whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa I've been waiting for more Caves so this was quite the surprise. Caves' Adolescent Dystopia EP was one of my favorite projects of last year and I randomly came across his latest release via Absent Fever tonight. DON'T be turned off by the name; I know it might be a little heavy, but I promise it's not like that. The first thing I noticed was that this EP has an overall different feel than the last one. I [...]

There are a ton of blogs out there that I admire, but I have a huge crush on Flashlight Tag and Verb/Re/Verb . So when their collective label known as Absent Fever gave me the honor of premiering yet another single from an upcoming release of theirs, I was all sorts of excited. This time it comes by way of Caves, a talented 18-year-old producer out of Los Angeles that is spearheading his efforts with some rather intricate sample-based music. Trying his luck with The Menahan Street Band's "The Traitor", which was originally sampled by KiD CuDi [...]
Caves - Didn't I Luke Cage has picked up a guitar for his new EP release with Absent Fever (Galapagos, Birkwin Jersey), and good lord it's one punchy guitar. Previously he dazzled with high-pitched vocal samples, luscious layers of synthetics - the only problem with the ' Adolescent Dystopia' EP was that it sounded a whole lot like other artists around right now (naming no names, but they're all on the Tri Angle roster ). ' [...]
Twitter can be a wonderful place for discovering new music - a case in point: I got up this morning to Jamie and Jamila talking about how "AMAZING" Caves is - and they are, as usual, right on the money. Caves ( soundcloud ) dropped his debut EP back in December, but his latest track Didn't I is my favourite of his to date - it's slow and deliciously intricate pop. It breaks free of any blisspop or indie sensibilities, it's open, welcoming and joyous - this is what [...]
