Cave Singers - No Witch

· ‘No Witch’ is The Cave Singers’ rock record. Laid to
tape with dark wizard producer Randall Dunn
(Black Mountain, Sunn O))), Boris), ‘No Witch’ is
grander and more lush than The Cave Singers'
previous efforts. It's also a nervier, scrappier
affair: greasy guitars buck and rear up; Easterninfluenced
blues snake through songs; gospel
choirs rise up like tidal waves.

· There are big, grinning nods to ‘Beggars Banquet’-
era Stones, the best of Mellencamp / Tom Petty
(‘Clever Creatures’) and the juke joint legends of
Mississippi like Junior Kimbrough and RL Burnside
(‘Black Leaf’ and ‘No Prosecution If We Bail’). Of
course, it’s all filtered through that particular,
magical Cave Singers formula: Pete Quirk’s reedy,
behind-the-beat delivery and existential wordplay,
Derek Fudesco’s lyrical guitar runs and drummer
Marty Lund's no nonsense rhythms.

· ‘No Witch’ is a new found sheen to the aura that
made The Cave Singers' music so special to begin
with. All told, there's treasure to be found here for
the biker gang weekender, the double rainbow
chaser and all that falls in the valley between
them.
