CAVE's New Clip Dazzles With Epileptic Go-Go Dance
By Jon Graef in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 2, 2011 8:20PM
The Neverendless train just keeps on ridin' like so many motorik-influenced drum beats for Chicago rockers CAVE, who just released a new video for "Adam Roberts." Use your peepers and watch it below.
The clip, created by Isaac Sherman, is for the most concise track off the instrumental quartet's latest record for Drag City, and features a lovely woman doing what looks to be a kaleidoscopic go-go dance. The fast-and-furious strobe lighting obscures her movements, giving the video a quality that is both mysterious and sensual. (But not in a "Mysterious Ways" kind of way). Between Cave's clip, and the Roommate clip from yesterday, this is quite the week for trippy music videos from local artists.
Aside from the new video, Cave continues to play live--in actual music venues, not just in the back of trucks. Tour dates, via Drag City's blog. Note the date at the Empty Bottle this coming Monday is free, and that, for those of you who know fans on the West Coast, the group will be playing Permanent Records's L.A. sister store on November 29.
