CoCo Beware, "
Thankful"

HERE. After a successful tour with Here We Go Magic, Caveman will also be heading out on tour with TheWar On Drugs, hitting the east coast, midwest and Canada before returning to New York to celebrate their digital album release at the Mercury Loungeon Thursday,
September 15th, ticket information
HERE.
Exploding out of the New York scene over the last few months, the band decided to release their upcoming album,
CoCo Beware, as soon as possible via a digital self-release on
September 13th on their own Magic Man! Records label. The fans wanted it, so the fans get it - a straight-ahead ethos for a band that's about the music FIRST. The digital release is followed by the physical CD and vinyl release on November 15th via Magic Man! / ORG Music,
CoCo Beware will simultaneously be released in Canada through
Dine Alone Records (The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Tokyo
Police Club etc).
In honor of the New York five-piece's debut release, the band has already made "Old Friend" available as a free download, premiering the track with
Fader Magazine. Click
HERE to hear the track. Recorded and produced by Nick Stumpf (French Kicks),
CoCo Beware showcases the dreamy chamber pop and multi-part harmonies that have been turning heads at the band's live shows for the better part of a year.
For Caveman, the last year and a half have been a whirlwind. Formed in New York back in January of 2010, the band has gone from relative unknowns to opening for
Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes, White Rabbits, Here We Go Magic, Cursive, Wye Oakand Yuck in a little under a year. Listening to
CoCo Beware, it's easy to see why the band has garnered so much attention in such a short period of time. Opening with "A Country's King of Dreams," the band explores honey-sweet, country-tinged vocal melodies over tribal drumming. "
My Time" is a slow-building pop gem, with lead singer Matthew Iwanusa's vocals weaving in and out of band's backing vocals. Caveman's lush four-part harmonies, spaced-out guitars, and inventive percussion come together perfectly on the tracks "Easy Water" and "My Room."
To get a further taste of the album, watch the quintet perform their tracks "Vampirer/Old Friend"at the Fader Fort
HERE and a semi-acoustic version of "Old Friend" as part of Converse's Gone To Governors Series
HERE. Also in a more public setting, Caveman run through "Decide" on FADER.tv
HERE. And you can see a live version of "Easy Water" on IFC
