Another fix of New York alt-rock to caress your ears. Caveman are a quintet signed to the ever reliable Fat Possum label. Their second album, which will simply be called 'Caveman', is due on the 2nd of April and they're planning a substantial US tour in support of the record. Tracklistings, cover art and other such formalities are now decided upon and the rest is left up to us, the public, to decide whether this thing is a success or a failure. All that's been allowed to grace the humble ears of the public and small-time bloggers like us is the album's first single, 'In The City'.
It's pretty much "now" in song form. We all know the sounds emanating from New York and the surrounding areas and most of them can be found here. This is an indie-rock song with definite electronic overtones and a dreamy feel, amplified by the soft guitar and vocals. Somehow they avoid making it just sound like they've listened to a load of other successful recent acts and plucked bits and bobs from each of them though. 'In The City' may offer nothing new, but it's a very good track and has a broad appeal. If nothing else, we're betting this will be a massive hit in blogland.
