Caracara
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
About
Caracara has always had ambitions past Philadelphia. They could have stemmed from the project’s genesis: the implosion of former bands, the impact of long-distance communication and travel in relationships, the inevitability of experimentation and expansion. Styles and symbols seem to shift throughout their music, alternating from shimmering indie to whispers of neo-folk before relishing in the cathartic push of post-rock. Caracara have begun to garner more and more attention for their dynamic and formidable approach to “distorted emotional music,” as they so call it. Their 2017 debut, "<a href="spotify:album:0vtMPk8rsIyKI80fJNQqMv" data-name="Summer Megalith">Summer Megalith</a>" was not only praised by Pitchfork as “some of the most immediately cathartic indie rock of recent times,” but led the band straight to an equally ambitious young producer-on-the-rise named Will Yip. Together they created 2019’s "<a href="spotify:album:5kTjT7qxaJZ5Bdom3sFIgQ" data-name="Better EP">Better EP</a>," the eponymous title track of which was regarded by Pitchfork- “Whatever you want to feel, “Better” is big enough to cover it.” Yip also remastered Summer Megalith for a limited 12” vinyl pressing which is available now via Memory Music. After releasing 2019's "<a href="spotify:track:3izBnpKWs3bScYguiJ1eEE" data-name="Dark Bells">Dark Bells</a>" on Memory Music, Caracara went back into Studio 4 with Yip in 2020. Listen to "<a href="spotify:track:3PAqGbTiH2WNCqDGmyf4q7" data-name="Hyacinth">Hyacinth</a>" and <a href="spotify:album:3kGJ6fFMTD1Fw4qUVYetny" data-name="Strange Interactions in The Night">Strange Interactions in The Night</a>" the first offerings from those sessions. Caracara's highly anticipated 2nd LP "New Preoccupations" will be released on March 25th, 2022 via Memory Music.
