The title says it all: we’re really digging CAVES [MySpace]. The band uprooted from San Fran-to-Brooklyn and make we’re hearing the impact of both cities on their latest project, their Face the Wall EP. The charming psychedelia of the Bay Area seems like a less than likely partner for the lo-fi movement they’ve come to embrace in their new digs, but this, as they’ve termed it “trash can psychedelia,” makes for beautiful music.
Any chance that I get to talk about my two favorite cities in the world is enough for me, but I really love what I have heard. Check out some track “after the jump”

Caves form very slowly over long periods of time. Caves hold some of the worlds most precious and beautiful substances, though it is nearly impossible to perceive anything in the total darkness of the cave. CAVES live and work in Brooklyn. CAVES started as the recording project of Zach Shepard in the year of 2005, in the woods of Northern California near Nevada City. Zach had been living in San Francisco and decided to take a year off of city life to compose music in a cabin by a pond, literally. At the end of a year Zach returned to San Francisco to finish his new record, Here is Vision and form a new group. He continued writing and recorded a new record called, A Year of Magic (for beginners), from which comes the new EP, Face the Wall. He started to vaguely sense that different opportunities awaited him in some other city. So he moved to Brooklyn in November of 2009. Now, CAVES play trash can psychadelia in an industrial wasteland.
