Cave is an American primarily instrumental psychedelic drone band based in Chicago, Illinois, composed of keyboardist Rotten Milk, guitarist/organist Cooper Crain, bassist Dan Browning and drummer Rex McMurry. The band was formed in Columbia, Missouri in 2006, and has released three full-length albums: ''Hunt Like Devil/Jamz'' (2008), ''Psychic Psummer'' (2009) and ''Neverendless'' (2011). Cave has toured widely in North America and Europe, and played the Pitchfork Music Festival in 2010.〔()〕 ==History== Cave was formed in 2006 as an informal collaborative project by Columbia, Missouri friends Cooper Crain, Dan Browning, and Rex McMurry, with Chicago native Rotten Milk. At the time, Crain and McMurry were also members of the now-defunct Missouri band Warhammer 48K. When Warhammer disbanded in 2008 the four began seriously writing and recording music together. Milk, 49, got his name while Cave was playing a show in Chicago and he spilt milk on stage. The story goes that Cave rocked the house for so long that by the time they went to clean up the milk, it had already spoiled.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Delving into the CAVE mystery )〕 As described by ''Dusted Magazine'', "Cave is primarily an instrumental band, but its members use their voices as an additional rhythmic element."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dusted Reviews )〕 Often referred to as psychedelic drone or "psych collective," the band's style is also heavily influenced by Krautrock. Cave are considered part of the "Columbia Diaspora", a group of bands with members from Columbia, Missouri who now reside in Chicago, including Mahjongg and Lazer Crystal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Less Punk, More Dance )〕 In 2008 Cave released their first full-length album ''Hunt Like Devil/Jamz'' on Permanent Records. The following year they released an album on Important Records, ''Psychic Psummer'', which received a positive review from Pitchfork Media 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cave )〕 and was described as "near-perfect" by ''AV Club''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Review: Cave: Neverendless · Music Review · The A.V. Club )〕 In 2010 they released an EP on Drag City Records, ''Pure Moods'', which was reviewed favorably by Pop Matters〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cave )〕 and garnered mixed reviews from Tiny Mix Tapes and Pitchfork.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cave )〕 Cave's ''Pure Moods'' EP was followed in 2011 by their third full-length album, ''Neverendless'', which was also very well-received, with Pitchfork stating that the album introduced a new "feeling of focus and structure in () music."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cave )〕 Shortly before the album's release, the band played a show from the back of a flatbed truck while driving through Chicago, garnering a glowing feature in the ''Chicago Reader''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cave's unstoppable Neverendless )〕 Video of Chicago flatbed truck show can be seen online. Guitarist/organist Cooper Crain has also released material from his solo project Bitchin' Bajas on Permanent Records, and works with other Chicago bands as an analog recording engineer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Permanent Records )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cave (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
