CAVE - Neverendless

2011 (Drag city)
krautrock, psychedelia
by Francesco Nunziata
6

Bastano i primissimi secondi di “WUJ” per riconoscere i chicagoani Cave nella loro incarnazione più pura, ovvero un connubio di motorik e melodismo radioso in stroboscopico crescendo già analizzato, su queste pagine, nel precedente “Pure Moods”. La band formata da due ex membri dei Warhammer 48 K (il batterista Rex McMurry e il chitarrista/organista Cooper Crain) non rinnega, insomma, la sua “formula magica”, accarezzando vibrazioni più ballabili nella lunga cavalcata di “This Is The Best”, scodinzolando graziosi in “Adam Roberts” e manifestando tiepidi sintomi di isteria in “OJ”.

Disco godibilissimo dall’inizio alla fine, ma francamente poco stuzzicante per restare.
