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.
All music is posted with the expectation that if you enjoy yourself you'll go out and support these artists. Buy some records! See some shows! If anyone wishes something removed, I'm all ears.
This blog relies heavily upon LaLa, a digital music site that combines the better features of others into one superlative service. For free, you can listen to any song in its entirety-- one time--before deciding if you want to purchase it. Plus, you can upload your current iTunes library onto your LaLa account for free and have unlimited access to those songs whenever and wherever you can get online. All you gotta do is sign-up. No joke.
