Alone Together

Alone Together – The Cabin Fever (as told by Mr. Bones)

Looking for some nihilistic dream pop with clever lyrics (I wake up so tired of waking up) over spare, yet melodic and accessible instrumentation? Give Cabin Fever’s third EP a click. In it the LA based trio presents a captivating sound over songwriter S. Moriarty’s haunting but somehow optimistic lullabies. And, you’ll get bragging rights for playing them before they get discovered.

RIYL: Brian Eno, John Cale, Nick Cave, Lord Huron
