This trio from Los Angeles claim their likeness to bands named the Big Pink and Fuck Buttons. Their style is a mix of shoegaze and electronics. DM is less expansive and less noisy, respectively, than most acts: Their debut album, "Machines That Listen" is more mello and a bit down-tempo, but a definite ear candy that may get the repeat button worn off. Their musical beats are savvy as they seamlessly transition their sounds from tempo to tempo. The trio’s Craig Gordon and David Bolt no doubt picked up most of their thump while working on their previous hip-hop project . Lyrically, each song takes place in a different room of a hospital; it’s an emotional and conceptual palette that mirrors the Antlers’ Hospice. There are three voices at play, including bassist Karrie K’s, but it’s a gothy baritone that pushes most of the songs.

When their new album, Pure Moods, released late this spring, little was known about them or their sound. However, Chicago's Cave were thought to have spiritually hailed from some weird world where the German pulse of Can and Amon Düül II overlap with the sound of post-punk Britain. This made for an interesting comment as well as something that the band had to live up to. They've got a great rythmic tempo to their riffs and chords and absolutely take you in with the thumps on their beat. Lyrically, their all about some nonsense and parties, but definitely a great mix of vocal echoes harmonies within screams. Their speedy psychedelic rhythms are enough to bring any concert goer back to the sixties, but as soon as you get there, they fast forward you back to help you remember what year you're really in. Groove ON!!
