iTunes Review
Since Derek Fudesco formed The Cave Singers after the 2007 breakup of his band Pretty Girls Make Graves, it’s probably safe to assume the title of 2008’s Dancing on Our Graves is a nod toward his prior project. The strong EP opens with washboard and kick-drum percussion rattling and thumping under an arresting acoustic arpeggio. “Belmar” follows, sounding like a homemade recording where spare, acoustic guitar picking and foot-on-the-floor stomping accompanies Fudesco’s close harmonies with Amber Webber from Black Mountain. The more hushed “Backyards” closes, with Fudesco serenading over acoustic guitars and kitchen silverware percussion.
Customer Reviews
Very Cool and Unique Modern Folk
Feels like on occassion blues-folk mix among other things. This review by Brian Barr sort of sums it up for me..."You see, the Cave Singers' music demands attention. You’ll throw this record on, maybe in the morning while you’re getting ready for work. Then, in the middle of the day, one of Quirk’s lyrics or Fudesco’s riffs will pop into your head, the way a Townes Van Zandt song does. You won’t be able to shake it. You’ll go home and listen to it again. Pretty soon, Invitation Songs will have worked its way into your subconscious and become the soundtrack to this moment in your life. Invitation Songs will remain a part of you forever." --Brian J. Barr, Seattle, Washington I concur.
Not Much New, But More Of A Good Thing Is Great!
Granted, I live in Seattle, so you can guess my music taste, but a fantastic band and a fantastic EP!
Cabin Fever 2, anyone?
Dancing on our Graves. I heard this song in the opening title sequence of Cabin Fever 2 (which was the only good part) and I couldn't stop thinking about it! So, I finally got it. This is the one song along with Franz Ferdinand's "Ulysses" that I'll listen to non-stop.
