Banshee

Seattle, Washington’s The Cave Singers channel the geography of their home state on Banshee with songs that evoke the calm but vibrant West Coast landscape. On the off-the-cuff rock ‘n’ roll of “Christmas Night,” the band is loose and relaxed, head-nodding through tambourine shakes and reverb-slicked guitar. They pull out glimmering, heartfelt, coastal soul with the clap-along groove of “Strip Mine,” while the hazy sheen of swirling six-string on “Light In The House” wraps around you like a soft, salty breeze.
