Add Date: February 22
Artist: The Cave Singers
Album: No Witch
Label: Jagjaguwar
Genre: Rock, folk, blues
Comments: From the promoter: "By all accounts, No Witch is The Cave Singers' rock record... grander and more lush than The Cave Singers' previous efforts. It's also a nervier, scrappier affair: greasy guitars buck and rear up; Eastern-influenced blues snake through songs, gospel choirs rise up like tidal waves. There are big, grinning nods to Beggars Banquet-era Stones, the best of Mellencamp ("Clever Creatures") and the juke joint legends of Mississippi like Junior Kimbrough and R.L. Burnside ("Black Leaf" and "No Prosecution If We Bail"). Of course, it's all filtered through that particular, magical Cave Singers formula: Pete Quirk's reedy, behind-the-beat delivery and existential wordplay, Derek Fudesco's lyrical guitar runs and drummer Marty Lund's no nonsense rhythms."
After two well-received LPs for Matador, The Cave Singers jump to Jagjaguwar (Lia Ices, Okkervil River, Black Mountain) for a bluesy, psychedelia-laced folk-rock stomp of a record. Check out tracks 3, 8, 6 and 11.
