[ROCK] The musical trajectory of Chicago’s Cave has taken on an increasing amount of groove over the years, and the latest chapter, Allways, out this October on Drag City, is no exception. After some musical chairs (keyboardist Rotten Milk was replaced by Rob Frye with the band’s previous release, Threace, in 2013, after which they welcomed additional guitarist Jeremy Freeze), Cave has become more adept than ever at locking down a groove and exploring its every possibility, buoyed by the lack of lyrics getting in the way. While continuing to combine elements of math-y krautrock, psych/prog, international textures and funky jazz, Allways is a six-song exercise in exploratory melding… explore, discover, meld, explore some more. Turn the volume up and get lost in the hypnotic flow when Cave comes to Babeville’s 9th Ward on Monday, December 3.
