Caveman, the Brooklyn five-piece hailed by Fader as “the kind of wistful, windows-down driving music you want to listen to as you hightail it out of the city for summer’s last gasp,” will release their debut LP CoCo Beware on November 15th via Magic Man! Records / ORG Music.
Recently touring with War on Drugs, Caveman left a colorful impression on TVD, and their live sound has also been doted on by Consequence of Sound as “shifted between lolling atmospheric ditties and galloping tom-heavy compositions, with every band member contributing innumerable amounts of dreamy ideas to every song.”
Caveman’s ten-song debut was produced by Nick Stumpf (French Kicks) and shows front man Matt Iwanusa’s ability to craft melodies and lyrics that tackle topics of life and love, reflections on hope and joy, as well as moody observations, all sung in grandiose four-part harmonies, wrapped in timeless melodies.
As the seasons change, sometimes our outlook on life changes with it, and we’re filled with a sense of adventure that can only be described as a shifting autumnal wind. We allow ourselves to be blown in a new direction, letting spontaneity and the colorful harmonies of the changing leaves inspire us.
Caveman have been kind enough to provide TVD with an advanced vinyl pressing of CoCo Beware, and TVD wants to pass that on to you. So go ahead, tell us your end-of-summer song, “the kind of wistful, windows-down driving music you want to listen to as you hightail it out of the city for summer’s last gasp”… besides Caveman.
I remember Richard Marx’s “Endless Summer Nights”… Oooh, I remember!
The winner will be notified next Friday (10/7) and must have a mailing address in the continental US or Canada.
