Why do we like this?
Do you ever listen to a song for the very first time and think, "Yeah, I've got it"? You make a connection with the feel of the song, the currents, its rhythms and texture -- and you can immediately let it sink into your mind. You absorb its message not even through your ears but through"¦ well, nothing? That's what happened to me with Caged Animals. That pretty (slash scary) looking lady on the side of this post may not just make your next two minutes and 40 seconds, but your week.
At once fuzzy and upbeat but also sleepy and cathartic, I had to do some research at first because I had no idea who this one-man band Vincent Cacchione was. Libraries were consulted, foreign dignitaries, and some people I am not at liberty to name... but, Caged Animals, it turns out, is Cacchione and a bucketload of ideas driving him forward, sideways, or nowhere, in whatever direction his computer experiments take him.
Now that Lucky Number has signed him, it might be a mighty impressive coup for both man and label. "Girls on Medication" reverberates with all the apathetic charm of The Strokes circa 2001, the lush warmth of a Best Coast-esque melody, some Lemonheads, and even slurry Britpop vocals that create one of the most refreshingly cool songs I've heard all year.
"Girls on Medication" is out July 4 on white 7-inch vinyl via Lucky Number (limited to 500 copies).
