Biography

The Cave Singers spend a good deal of time beyond the darkened edges of Seattle, in the mist and mystic, among the wolves and redwoods. And their songs, at least on record, have always been like beautiful, faded grayscale photos of this hinterland. Now, these photos are injected with hot blood and technicolor, a ferocity and bite we've yet to see from the band.

By all accounts, No Witch is The Cave… Read more in Amazon's The Cave Singers Store

Editorial Reviews

Seattle's Cave Singers debut with a rural blend of homespun mystery and "folk music approached by way of punk rock, or an updated version of the 'Anthology Of American Folk Music'" - Seattle Weekly. You might hear bits of Calexico, Iron & Wine, Devendra, or Lindsey Buckingham in their dense and eerie sound. Singer Pete Quirk's appealingly nasal voice simultaneously echoes Arlo Guthrie and a mosquito's buzz.

5.0 out of 5 stars A boot-stomping good time, November 6, 2007

J. Feinberg (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Invitation Songs (Audio CD)
I absolutely love this record. This is without a doubt one of my favorite releases from 2007. It is simple in arrangement yet very deep in tone, vibe, and melody. I just saw these guys live in Austin and they do a great job of reproducing the vibe live. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular, January 1, 2008
This review is from: Invitation Songs (Audio CD)
I discovered this album in the final moments of 2007, and in a year of great music, Invitation Songs has immediately become one of the highlights. It's thoroughly modern while being reminiscent of older folky music, and that balance, in combination with the singer's cool (but not traditionally "good") voice makes for a classic album. Every song is a winner. I can't wait to hear more from these guys.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah, I'm diggin' this so far, December 9, 2007
By 
Crumbly (Madison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Invitation Songs (Audio CD)
I received this CD on a recommendation last week, and I've been listening to it in heavy rotation all week. It's slightly folksy, slightly bluesy lo-fi listening that seeps into your consciousness. Definitely not for a running tape, but rather for late night after-hours, when you can turn the lights low and sip a beverage of choice.
