The Cave Singers - Naomi

Review by Kat Waplington

It’s a bit like listening to an early Death Cab record, but with Layne Staley singing vocals on an exceptionally mellow, blissed-out day.»

on 'naomi', the cave singers have charted new territory for the band, both musically and spiritually, while remaining true to their distinctive brand of brushfired folk. after some time in the dark wealth of the unknown, they have returned to the light with a revitalized purpose. each song on the album functions like a chapter in a bigger story, addressing themes of the past, exhuming the memories under moonlight. there are songs of addiction, car ownership, fireworks, tree houses, moving to new mexico, and god, each shifting in all the ways that make life difficult and miraculous, astounding and beautiful.
