Cave Painting

Brighton, England’s mysterious Cave Painting crafts an atmospheric sound that borrows from shoegaze, Afro-pop, and good old-fashioned indie rock, evoking American acts such as Fleet Foxes and Yeasayer, as well as fellow U.K. residents Vacationer. Forming in 2010, the five-piece announced their arrival with a trailer for their music posted on their website and the debut song “Leaf” in January 2011. The band played more shows that summer and released an eerie short film based on their single “Midnight Love” in September. Cave Painting's debut EP, You’ll Be Running Soon, was released that November. ~ Heather Phares
