A Deep Well
Cavalier Song are a Liverpool based band with a new album A Deep Well on God Unknown Records. Cavalier Song inscribe modern eulogies to celebrate the terrible beauty of rural dystopias. Their cinematic stares study earthy landscapes and post-industrial wastelands, constructing a range of sonic artworks that meditate on the human condition, stirring memory and desire within definitions of a terrific sublime. The results are a series of lush, yet darkly affective, symphonic abstractions weaving in and around melancholic myths and narratives. Cavalier Song deploy a post-minimalist sensibility, referencing a range of art forms including painting, sculpture and literature. Musical and poetic influences include Philip Glass, Swans, Ted Hughes, John Coltrane and King Crimson, each
echoing a fascination for melodic repetition, unconventional rhythms and poetic design. Their second album A Deep Well depicts a series of shifting mise en scènes - from Arcadian dysfunction to an omnipresence of troubling signs, unfathomable monoliths and abandoned fracking sites. The album has an edgier, starker, more intense and urgent feel than their acclaimed debut Blezard; the noisier provocations of Adam’s Apple and Heathen vigilantly co-existing with the gentler inventions of landscape, developed in the ambient wanderlusts of St Christopher and Shields. Mysterious, enigmatic choreographies emerge in Insect Fire Dance, where an oedipal protagonist is confronted with a litany of pagan objects, scattered on an ancient burial ground. Cavalier Song have performed across the U.K in a number of venues ranging from the esoteric to the implausible; bingo halls and dilapidated cinemas providing alternative sites for the band to transmit intriguing soundscapes and text to discerning listeners.
