There are quite a few records I’m really excited about being released in 2009. Besides PJ’s “Backspacer”, AIC’s “Black Gives Way to Blue”, Yo La Tengo's "Popular Songs", and the still untitled Yeasayer record the one I’m most excited about is The Cave Singers second effort “Welcome Joy”, due out August 18th. In 2007 this Seattle band released probably one of the best local records of that year in my opinion, and one of my favorite records of all time (That’s right, all time!). I think “Invitation Songs” still gets more spins by my wife and I than any other record in the past few years. The trio of Peter Quirk, Derek Fudesco, and Marty Lund created incredibly beautiful music together on that record, and blew us away the first time we saw them live at Neumos that year. The gorgeous new song “Beach House” made available for download by Matador Records a couple months ago hopefully is only a precursor to what is sure to be an amazing record. This time around they are also joined by the Ashley Weber of Lightning Dust and Amber Weber of Black Mountain and Lightning Dust, which should add some more pretty harmonies as well. If you haven’t caught The Cave Singers in a live setting yet let me just say you have missed out so far, it’s nothing short of hypnotizing. Never fear though you'll have plenty of chances soon enough, because they are scheduled for 3 Seattle performances in the second half of 2009. The first being a record release show August 18th @ Easy Street Records (Queen Anne), then September 7th @ Bumbershoot (Monday), and also October 17th @ Neumo’s.
Matador records has announced the pre-sale for “Welcome Joy” and you can order it here. I’ve also posted the song “Beach House” from the new record below; right click-save as, enjoy and hopefully I'll see you August 18th @ Easy Street.
