We love it when bands just give us the genre definition of their music themselves – and we love it even more when such definition is not super cheesy and works perfectly in describing their sound. CAVES is a Brooklyn based band (via North Carolina and San Francisco) that plays, as they say, "trash can psychadelia in an industrial wasteland"… therefore you should get: droney atmospheres – check; dreamy vocals and effects – check; distorted drums – check. Also, somehow the words "industrial wasteland" make us think of some parts of Bushwick – we wouldn’t be surprised if they lived just there. But you may ask, are they good? We didn’t see them live yet but we are definitely enjoying their songs, which sound like a "DIY-er" version of The Secret Machines flirting at times with a more "avant" approach reminiscent of Animal Collective. The industrial element is limited to the recurrent but always sparse distorted percussive elements (this "noise factory" is a rather slow one, unlike most "proper" industrial acts, who enjoy to turn the BPM knob up). The band has a brand new debut EP and a series of shows scheduled in the near future: Public Assembly on March 3 and Pianos on March 14 – do not miss.
