Air Cav can finally announce the release of their long-awaited debut album Don’t Look Indoors, on Crystalline Recordings on December 5.
The release marks the culmination of time spent in the shadows, working on something that they could irrevocably call theirs, something that bled their own character and that wasn’t a half-formed facsimile of different artists. The album will be preceded by the download-only single ‘A Call To Arms,’ also out on Crystalline on November 7.
In the ever accelerating flux of music, some bands appear like a glint in the eye of the storm only to disappear again with barely a trace left; it’s easy to assume in these instances that these acts simply couldn’t cope with the brief shed of light cast upon them with which to do something in
Air Cav, though, are different; a four-piece who emerged in 2008 with a brace of singles – ‘Alliance’, Hottest Track In The World Right Now according to Steve Lamacq, and ‘Embers/Picking At The Bones’ – and a euphoric live show, including an acclaimed slot at Manchester’s In The City Unsigned Festival. They looked at what they had and what they could potentially be heading for, and decided to wait, retract and grow anew. Why? Because for all the talk and clamour surrounding them, the band themselves weren’t ready to be rushed into the recording of an album that may have offered short term gains but fallen short in the creative standards they set themselves.
