Northwest Music Scene Praises The Cave Singers’ Banshee

Northwest Music Scene has high praise for the Cave Singers‘ Banshee, the band’s fifth album and the highest-charting self-released album on the CMJ Radio 200 for the past four weeks. The site calls the album “their most cohesive to date,” praising the development of singer Peter Quirk‘s lyrics and the band’s straightforward approach to making direct and unfussy songs. “They’ve branded themselves,” the reviewer writes, “by writing timeless folk ballads and showcasing a natural ability to play them hard and clear with poise you can feel through their recordings.” Read the whole review, and watch the video for lead single “That’s Why,” here.
