With its extended passages of instrumental dissonance, it’s the perfect introduction to a band that possess a clear sonic aesthetic of string-tinged shimmering fuzz and resurgent percussion, moving freely within these parameters with a buoyant vigour that defies the methodical creation process.
Debut album ‘Don’t Look Indoors’ will be released on the group’s own Crystalline Recordings on December 5th and within its velveteen expanses, coupled with a warmly psychedelic imprint that the likes of Spaceman 3 sought to pre-cursor shoegaze with, lies the essence of a band who’ve bided their time until they’ve fully concreted their sound. From being just a glint in an eye, Air Cav look set to take the end of 2011 by storm.
