Slow Caves and the shimmering 90's dream that is "Before I Leave"

 













"get behind, the weight of all I try to let it out..."


"Before I Leave" by Fort Collins, Colorado Slow Caves (the band / project of Danish American brothers, Jakob and Oliver Mueller and their childhood bud David Dugan) is a beautiful nostalgic indie pop rock manifestation that feels like a 90's esque - college radio meets mainstream summer song. You know back when more popish songs would coincide with heavy grunge with no problem. During a time when social media was not a thing, it was a time when musical genres seemed to exist with less division. I, in fact, do feel a sort of melding of British indie and Americana (90's style) like a collision of Soul Asylum and Oasis. Check it out.

After cutting their teeth in the Denver music scene, the band garnered attention from Old Flame Records and subsequently released the EP, Desert Minded in 2017. The following year they released a double A side picture disc (Poser/Rover). The band spent the last three years touring extensively, highlighted by performances at SXSW, Velorama and Treefort Music Fest. They have opened for national acts such as Third Eye Blind, Cold War Kids, Modest Mouse, Matt & Kim, Cake, Rooney, DIIV, The Kills, and many others. After sharpening their live show on the road, the band entered the studio with legendary record producer, Chris “Frenchie” Smith. Recorded at The Bubble in Austin, TX, Slow Caves released their debut album, “Falling” via Old Flame Records on March 22nd, 2019.
