The Cave Singers - Welcome Joy

soothing souls on Matador records (2009)


Today I want to give a little blog love to local folk-hymnal trio, The Cave Singers, whose sophomore record just dropped last week. Welcome Joy is another stirring album of folk reveries that only slightly fleshes out the stripped-down acoustics, jugband rhythms, and gospel-fed melodies of their previous record, Invitation Songs. This is the soundtrack to a midnight campfire, or a long walk in a secluded woods; solitary music that is best when shared with others.

I'd vote for "VV" or "Hen Of The Woods" as the best place to start. Matador's blog is offering "Beach House" for free download as well.
