The Cavernous Release a Chill and Experimental Electronic Record

A new album from The Cavernous manages to deliver a very unique and experimental electronic approach that incorporates a series of lush sets of instrumentation that come through in waves of intensities and bring with them moods for each individual song.

The Please Hold album takes some of the best elements of electronic and even chill style approaches and brings them together to actually create these prevalent sorts of atmospheres that you can get swallowed up in, but in a good way.

These are beautifully constructed songs, and they can feel either vast or expansive in their undertones at times, while having almost psychedelic or trippy overtones at the same time.

Songs like "Ochre" give a great example of being able to combine the sort of trip hop or chill element with the more experimental electronic style. You have this laid-back beat with synth pads that are flowing through the ether of the track, but you also have overlapping synths and keys that are adding different textures.

These are the kinds of things that make this album unique and sort of Stand Out amongst the rest, along with its conceptual and thematic approach as well.

The way the record is released is sort of a new idea.

While you can hear one of the main singles, "Guile", on their Spotify, the only way to listen to the full streaming record as of right now is to actually dial 1-877-420-9159 with your cell phone.

Upon calling the number, the record will actually start streaming right then and there.

This is one of the most unique and avant-garde ways to release a record I've heard of in the past decade, and I found it brilliantly amusing to listen to a record this way.

Obviously, it's best to hook up headphones to your cell so that you can listen to it the way it was intended. The record has a lot of wonderful layers to it, and again, combining these different textures as a huge approach, along with the particular moods that the song sets for you.

If you want to, you can listen to that first track, "Guile", on Spotify to get an idea of what you may expect from the rest of the record before calling the number; however, I can tell you that listening to this record from beginning to end is the only way to go.

Instead of going on Spotify and streaming a record, plug in headphones to your cell phone and call that number, and just stream it front to back.

This is a record that's meant to be soaked in info because there are connective elements and conceptual backbones to the album itself.

"Guile" is a great song to start with just to get a feel because it does showcase some of the staples that you can hear through some of the rest of the release however again, there are lots of surprises around the corners, different approaches and styles to the song writing, and they build amazing atmospheres to sort of swim through as the record unfolds.

This is a record that becomes engulfing, but in a different way than you might think.

It feels good to immerse yourself in this almost theatrical and electronic landscape that they provide, and along with that, you get this full experience.

It's not just about calling the number, it's about letting yourself flow with those Aesthetics that the songs give you.

Loads of different synths and keys, brilliant tonalities, some tracks remind you of muzak, and if you don't remember or know what that is, just look it up.

Others are vast and have a spaciousness in their underbellies, with different tones, at times a little bit darker, but at times a little bit later.

They do an amazing job of bringing together those elements of edginess with experimentation and expansiveness.

There's a particular ambience that becomes part of the record's soundscape and once you're halfway through this thing, you are beginning to expect the unexpected, which, to me, was incredibly refreshing.

You can tell there was a lot of attention to the details in terms of the tones of the keys and everything, and I love their conceptual idea behind releasing the record by calling a phone number.

Remember, you can still do this in your car and listen to the whole record.

It's actually quite a fun way to start a record. It's something you're just not used to, but it works very well.

These guys did an amazing job of stepping outside the box to create a record that has fewer bounds than what you may be used to, in several different ways.

Take a deep dive into this record when you can by calling 1-877-420-9159.
