Apr 5, 2013Their new self-titled album is both more refined and more expansive.
-
Aug 27, 2013Caveman could benefit from a further refining of their sound, paring down the influences just that bit more until we get a brilliant space-rock act delivering on every song. As it is Caveman is one great leap forward and a glimpse into a tantalising future.

Apr 5, 2013It's the first release for the band as an “all in” musical endeavor and it definitely feels that way.
-
Under The RadarApr 3, 2013Caveman sounds like the next logical step from CoCo Beware. [Mar-Apr 2013, p.91]
-
Apr 3, 2013The songs don't stand out as much themselves as they do blur into a wintery whole, creating an environment of subtle experimentation and daydream-like dynamics.
-
Apr 3, 2013Although it meanders for periods, Caveman’s self-titled is a well-crafted collection of songs that feels assured of itself and captures a consistent temperament of joyful exploration.

Q MagazineNov 22, 2013The formula really sparks when the layers of sounds are given firm edges. [Dec 2013, p.103]

Apr 15, 2013That it comes off a bit too orchestrated and muted around the edges isn’t a large criticism, but it sure would be interesting to hear the band let loose for a change.
-
Apr 9, 2013Caveman have followed-up CoCo Beware with a solid effort that retains some of the looseness of their debut. However, with the added label pressure, that looseness sometimes feels forced.
-
Apr 4, 2013It works best when the overpowering synth lines let up and make room for experimental noises and Iwanusa’s tender voice.
-
Apr 3, 2013Because Caveman simmers at the same murky tempo for 45 minutes, even the melodies start to lose their sweetness.
-
Apr 10, 2013The bottom line here is that this is a boring album, plain and simple.
