The Profile

Cave is an American psychedelic/krautrock band active since the mid-2000s, known for motorik rhythms, instrumental repetition, and groove-focused jams; key releases include Psychic Psummer, Neverendless, Threace, and Allways.

Reviews highlight Neu!/Can influences, instrumental focus, funk-tinged arrangements on Threace, a 42-minute five-track blast on Neverendless, and a harsh verdict on Psychic Psummer’s artwork.

Three reviews chart Cave’s American kraut-psych trajectory: the motorik charge of Neverendless, the sharper, funk-tinged Threace, and the scruffy charm (bad cover art alert) of Psychic Psummer. Expect Neu!/Can devotion, tight repetition, and instrumental focus. Overall warmly received, with Threace praised for precision and range.

Notable Quotes

❝ 42 minutes of the best hypnotic psychedelia of the year.

❝ But the artwork remains crap.

❝ An album and a band that finally seek to break free from the self-constructed psych kraut boundaries which might also appeal to listeners not well-versed in the subject.
