iTunes Review
Certainly to the relief of many who discovered the beauty of Cave Singers on 2007’s Invitation Songs, Welcome Joy finds the band staying the course, continuing to make spare, folk-inspired pop music. Though a slightly narcoticized ‘70s vibe is being channeled here, it’s more vintage Fleetwood Mac than, say, Vanilla Fudge, and the finger-picked guitars and the raspy, pinched vocals of Pete Quirk will also appeal to fans of Bon Iver and José Gonzalez (not to mention the Velvet Underground). Shimmering with glittery tambourines and rippling, hypnotic guitar-plucking, the Seattle band is on more sure footing this time around, keeping a tighter rein on the whole, and even use an occasional rocked-up tempo (“Leap,” “At the Cut”) to keep things moving. “I Don’t Mind” reminds us of the long-gone Miracle Legion, and that’s a very fine thing. Welcome Joy features special guest appearances by Amber Webber (Black Mountain and Lightning Dust) and Ashley Webber (Lightning Dust), and bonus track “Oh Child” is crushingly lovely, and worth seeking.

Best album of '09 FINALLY!!!
by SlangtangAs a fan of The Cave Singers first LP, I was hopeful yet sceptical of their sophomore release. Well, all scepticism has flown out the window, this album is nothing short of amazing. One could clump this band in the same catergory as the Band of Horses, Fleet Foxes, or Iron and Wine, but there is something a bit more raw & honest about The Cave Singers. Upon my first listen I kept waiting for that track where you say "eh" & skip on, didn't happen, this LP is solid beginning to end. I hear elements of the current indie scene, but there is something old sounding about this, like it was released 3 decades ago & we all just stumbled upon it. As of now my favorite tracks are Summer Light, Shrine (which sounds a lot like old Jefferson Airplane) & Beach House is just simply gorgeous. I plan on beating this into the ground all through the long Chicago winter, my hats off to The Cave Singers for again blowing my mind!!!
