Cave Flowers

After an extended time woodshedding, Cave Flowers whittled down their next batch of tunes for their upcoming 2nd album "Western Spectre". The freewheeling country-tinged, ramshackled album embodies what they begrudgingly love about the beautiful mess of living in the everything-town of Los Angeles. Ex-Seattleite Andy McAllister left the Pacific Northwest for the Southern California hazy hills where he connected with guitar and genuine renaissance man, Henry Derek Elis, who brought equal parts Waylon Jennings and CCR to his skeleton folk strummers. Things quickly took shape with Ben Coil on bass and with a stroke of sheer luck, lassoed Curtis Pettygrove on drums. The band went into the Heritage Recording Company with Chris Rondinella (who got his start engineering for Levon Helm) and in two days tracked 10 songs live. Jon Niemann (GospelbeacH) kindly added keys.
