The Cave Singers - “Easy Way” (free MP3)

Sound it Out # 41: The Cave Singers - “Easy Way ”(MP3)

I’ve gone on about my love for The Cave Singers here before.

What’s changed: They’ve added bassist & multi-instrumentalist Morgan Henderson (Blood Brothers, Fleet Foxes) and are now a 4-piece. The new record sounds lusher and includes some new sounds (background singers! reverb! flute solos!).

What hasn’t changed: The Cave Singers continue to sound like nobody else. There’s an intense rural feeling to their music that feels like a moonshine-soaked porch sing-along.

Their fourth album is called Naomi and is out March 5, but you can pre-order it here and download it next week.

The band has given us a free download of “Easy Way” for two days only, so grab it now. I also highly recommend seeing them when they tour the U.S. in the spring. You’ll be glad you did.

  Can’t recommend this band highly enough.  Go seek out all their previous work, too.

• [BijouxBoy]

  25 years ago a band called The Clean from Dunedin New Zealand (Flying Nun Records) created this sound with their label-mates. 

  • [Tom Leo]

    If you look hard enough every band sounds like an older band.

  ‘The Cave Singers continue to sound like nobody else.’

  err…..  

• [camnotthebutler]

  I was thinking the same as bijou boy, that’s a great version of the Dunedin sound.
