When Caveman released its first album “Coco Beware” in 2011, it didn’t take long for Fat Possum to snatch up the New York quintet of Jeff Berrall, James Carbonetti, Sam Hopkins, Matthew Iwanusa and Stefan Marolachakis to re-release the record. Their debut was intricate yet expansive with soaring folk harmonies, and singles like “In the City” and the latest song, the slow-building atmospheric ‘Where’s the Time,” make it apparent that their self-titled sophomore effort boosts the folk with some New Wave and art-rock elements. If you loved Caveman before, the sonic shift has simply enhanced their strengths and blended them with some hearty synths. Caveman’s new album is out April 2 via Fat Possum.
