Guitars. Beautiful, insanely performed guitar music. That was my instant impression of ‘Again’ by The Cavs. It’s a piece of music which really feels like it’s trying to decide what genre it wants to be.
Don’t get me wrong it’s an incredible track but there’s just elements that feel really confused within it. Such as the acoustic guitar which is played underneath all the distorted ones, it just doesn’t really fit into where its sat in the track.
At a short two minutes and seventeen seconds, this song really does get in and out and delivers its message in a speedy manner. The chorus is incredibly infectious and had me tapping my toes along the whole time, as did the whole song really.
The other thing within this track which could maybe do with a change is just the production of the drums. They sit in a nice place but with the quality of the performance I feel like they could sit further forward in the mix. That’s just personal preference though!
All things aside this is a very well written track and one which I feel has real potential to be great live.
