Cage9, based in Los Angeles, is comprised of Panama transplants Evan Rodaniche and Gustavo Aued on guitar/vocals and bass respectively, L.A. native Jesse Beltz on guitar and from Phoenix, AZ, Gordon Heckaman. The following is an excerpt from a recent interview with the band regarding their new album:Cage9 has recorded four albums since moving to L.A. and we spoke with Evan about their latest release, "Survival Plan."Q: What's the theme of the new album... where did the title come from?A: "It seems like all you hear about these days is talk of fear and what's going to happen when the world self-destructs sometime in the very, very near future. So as an artist I felt it was my duty to accurately imitate life and compose an album or guide, if you will, on how to survive your own worst case scenario - as random, mundane or impossible as it might be. I was probably equally excited about making the album art as I was recording the album. Our theme icon is a play on the gas mask, universal sign for "oh shit." We revolved all our images around one of us dressed in a tattered business suit and gas mask, performing everyday chores from mowing the lawn, getting gas, surfing, taking vows...etc., to kind of illustrate and at the same time poke fun at the fear that we are constantly barraged with on warning labels, news reports, the internet...wherever lawyers feel there is a need. A survival plan is what you would supposedly need to maximize your chances of making it out of any given unfortunate and/or lethal situation intact." "Our survival plan, as dark as the subject might seem, is supposed to make you laugh at the whole f'ed up way our world feeds off negativity and maybe even realize that we should spend less time fretting over what horrible thing might happen to us in the next 20 years and devote a minute or two more towards taking advantage of what is happening right here, right now, in front of us, as-we-speak type thing." "I based alot of my lyrics on the concept although the whole album doesn't necessarily reflect the theme, there are hidden clues and meanings to yes, formulate your very own survival plan - should your existence stumble upon any fateful twists or turns...during the 70 or so minutes you might happen to be listening to this album anyway."Q: We heard you have a few special guests on the album?A: "Gordon, Gustavo and I also dabble ...

Grillfest 2007 songs
$12.69 
It's been a pretty vast musical journey so far: from the freak folk of Espers' debut album to the wide-ranging psychedelia of their covers EP, to 2006's II, an album stepped in British folk formalism and drenched in overtone modal drones and careening electric guitars that added sheer rock power to the flowery proceedings. On III, the Philadelphia quintet do a bit of a mirror flip. While this album sounds brighter, cheerier, and more upbeat musically, on the lyrical side, these songs inhabit a somewhat darker world. Which is fine since the meld of classic American folk-rock, psychedelia, Brit-folk discipline, and leftover traces of the acid folk of their origins all combine to make a recording of beauty and depth, all underscored by their best songwriting to date.

That's fine, the meld of classic American folk-rock, psychedelia, Brit-folk discipline, and the leftover traces of the acid folk of their origins all combine to make a recording of beauty, depth, complex dimensions, and dynamics, underscored by their best songwriting to date. The core of the band features vocalist Meg Baird, and multi-instrumentalists Brooke Sietinsons, and Greg Weeks (who also engineered and produced the set), with Vetiver drummer Otto Hauser and cellist Helena Espvall (who appeared on II as well) rounding out the band. Just compare the first two numbers on III: they are ample evidence of an evolving, more complex songwriting process. There is the near-jaunty folk-rock of "I Can't See Clear," with Baird's alto falling directly into the double-waltz time of the acoustic guitars, bassline, and other stringed instruments until the chorus, where melodically distorted electric guitars are added to the mix and push the track to the margin. The melody line is pronounced, repetitive, and catchy -- but the subject matter is anything but light. "The Road of Golden Dust" that features Baird's and Weeks' voices twinned on the verses, is creepier, murkier, and far more haunting. Its lilting melody slithers alone on a lithe backbeat and hypnotic guitar patters. Its notes are much more restrained, ...
