The Cave Singers - Dancing On Our Graves



This is a fucked up little number that pulsates with menace. It's a great little example of how to craft a song that has a real atmosphere to it to with just a little guitar and a little drums. It has the vibe of a really warped spiritual. That's undoubtedly re-enforced by the video which is done up to resemble some found footage of a Southern Revival meeting. There is something more than a little unnerving about the way it perfectly syncs with the song. Obviously it's just footage that's been made to look old and damaged but it's very well done. The Cave Singers come from Seattle and apparently emerged from the remains of "Pretty Girls make Graves" a band I always thought were absolute dross, so good for them for making something of themselves.
