Cave is an American primarily instrumental psychedelic drone band based in Chicago, Illinois, composed of guitarist/organist Cooper Crain, guitarist Jeremy Freeze, bassist Dan Browning, drummer Rex McMurry, and multi-instrumentalist Rob Frye.
[1] Cave was formed in 2006 as an informal collaborative project by Columbia, Missouri friends Cooper Crain, Dan Browning, and Rex McMurry, with Chicago native Rotten Milk.
[2] As described by Dusted Magazine, "Cave is primarily an instrumental band, but its members use their voices as an additional rhythmic element.
"[3] Often referred to as psychedelic drone or "psych collective," the band's style is also heavily influenced by Krautrock.
The following year they released an album on Important Records, Psychic Psummer, which received a positive review from Pitchfork Media[5] and was described as "near-perfect" by AV Club.
