6/11/07--The Cave Singers sign to Matador Records
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 this Autumn.

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.'"
