INDIE ROCK
On their forthcoming album, Escape Artist, Caged Animals have created a record reincarnated from a series of spiritually trying events. On a go-for-broke US tour, the band’s van was robbed, and the only copy of the album’s original recordings vanished (along with the laptop it was recorded on). Only days before, Vin had learned his wife was pregnant with their first child and days later he would turn 30, entering a new phase of adulthood, flat-broke, and without his band’s new music.
Escape Artists’ 13 songs are built from these events, but draw musically from the character-driven narratives of Folk Music and the sonic exploration of contemporary Indie. The album offers a literate, layered sound that plays like a small-screen Arcade Fire got stuck in a Bushwick bedroom with a miraculously upbeat Father John Misty. The result is artful, adult pop music that is both vulnerable and sonically detailed. Its frame is timeless but its exterior is colorful and modern.
