Listen to Cave People get vulnerable on a bare-boned EP
Local PA indie rock outfit Cave People just dropped their new EP Salt, recorded by Joe Michelini (of American Trappist) at Berlin Studios. The band announced that all the proceeds collected will help fund Juntos, a Philly-based organization that is fighting for immigrant rights.
“Are You Looking,” is a bare-boned acoustic track that carves out space within itself. Frontman Dave Tomaine’s voice shakes with vulnerability as he echoes the self-conscious titular question. Chiming keyboard notes leave faintly treading footsteps behind a delicate web of fretwork. “Lather” demonstrates a similarly impressive layering of guitar and piano, creating a cinematic taxi-cab-pulling-away-after-dramatic-goodbye vibe. Here is Cave People shrinking, Cave People at their smallest.
