http://www.matadorrecords.com/the_cave_singers/music.html
The "Seeds Of Night" 7", with non-album B-sides, and $2-off coupon for the album, will be in stores August 14.
The 'Invitation Songs' album will be in stores September 25.
The band will be playing some upcoming shows in Seattle, followed by a 9/28-10/27 nationwide tour with Black Mountain:
Sat, Aug 18: Seattle WA - KEXP BBQ - South Lake Union Discovery Center
Sat, Sep 1: Seattle WA - Bumbershoot Festival
Tue, Sep 25: Seattle WA - TBA
Official signing announcement:
We couldn't be happier to announce --- despite having already been scooped by Pitchfork --- that we've signed the Seattle trio The Cave Singers to a longer-than-long, worldwide pact. Composed of vocalist Pete Quirk, percussionist Marty Lund and guitarist Derek Fudesco, the band's first full length, 'Invitation Songs', recorded with Colin Stewart (Black Mountain, Pretty Girls Make Graves) is due out on September 25.
The Seattle Weekly's Brian Barr describes the trio's approach as akin to "an updated version of the Anthology of American Folk Music. Not the graduate-student, learned interpretations of folk music circa 1962, but folk music approached by way of punk rock. It's sparse, melodic, and simultaneously creepy and alluring, like the widow mourning graveside in Johnny Cash's 'Long Black Veil.'"
