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.

Bramble

Is the most amazing song they've written. Incredible.

I can't believe

more people aren't downloading BEACH HOUSE!! That is the song that made me fall in love with The Cave Singers---I discovered them about 3 months ago and listen to that song over and over. The lead singer truly has a unique voice and they have a ultra calm vibe about them. It's chill and AWESOME!

Best album of '09 FINALLY!!!

As 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!!!

Biography

Formed: Seattle, WA

Genre: Singer/Songwriter

Years Active: '00s, '10s

Given the rising popularity of meditative, folky indie acts in the early 2000s, forming a twangy, rootsy folk trio was probably the least surprising move Derek Fudesco could have made. The former bassist and founding member of the successful indie rock group Pretty Girls Make Graves picked up an acoustic guitar and formed the Cave Singers following PGMG's demise in January 2007, teaming up with vocalist Pete Quirk (formerly of Hint Hint) and drummer Marty Lund (formerly of Cobra High).
