LYRICS 
"Where being black is a daring deed
Where the most corrupt destruct
They breathe the air you breathe on the daily 
Where the construct of trust is of no need
Where without greed success a rarity 
Sprouts a soldier in disguise as a product 
The one who garnered clarity before he even got up to observe
A reality perturbed, Word to mama 
Citizen turned target
Cynic turned martyr 
Art of war developed in my psyche
Barter second nature for insight on whats unlikely
Ripe as the behavior of a man who’s died
one too many times 
fuck a savior nigga, fuck a favor, fuck ya paper nigga
wheres yo mind?
for years folks been blind choking on their disguise
hoping the skies would open up golden doors to those who abide
the reach for whats internal don’t come close to the eternal 
stepping outside yourself like wandering inside 

(Chorus)

Unapologetic in his very nature
Better Save ya breath for the paramedics later
Ice cold blooded nigga 
Both battling a war outside and in
Times be looking grim for him
Type to make ya neck sound like a rimshot
Cops watch and mock his running skills and sick hops
They think Big lipped dummy, nappy head, ripped socks
Interest locked on pussy and getting guap
No one fucking with him 
Look in his eyes and see years and years of brutality, casualties, tragedies hazardous mental faculties orchestrate the cacophony 
Constantly charged with battery, rape, drug dealing irresponsibly, locked in steel gates 
Places his faith in the almighty still
Lost sight of willpower 
Still driven to push sour In order to rock ill linen
Hell stick somebody especially if they timid
Foreign niggas pose opportunity for Forgiveness"

Caged Animals is the musical moniker for Jersey-born, Brooklyn-based songwriter Vincent Cacchione and his family band.  With a long history in the city’s DIY music scene, Cacchione emerged from his role fronting Soft Black (whose members included DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith) to form Caged Animals. The band features his sister Talya, partner Magali Charron, childhood friend Patrick Curry, and recent recruit Chris Aiello who adds his alto-saxophone to the groups rich arrangement.

“Night Dances” is the second track to be shared from the bands forthcoming LP. It follows on the success of “Wildflowers,” which quickly became a Top 10 Viral Track on Spotify, peaking at #7 in the US and #8 Globally. It was recently used in an episode of Neil deGrasse Tyson’s StarTalk Radio.

“Night Dances” picks up where “Wildflowers” left off but delivers even more depth and melody. Built around a spatial groove and nocturnal atmosphere, “Night Dances” trades in the kind of noir-tinged-pop The Guardian described as “the perfect soundtrack if they remade Blue Velvet.”

Most pertinently, “Night Dances” sees longtime harmony vocalist, Magali Charron, step into the spotlight as lead singer. Her vocal is delicate and rich, evoking the hushed immediacy of Julee Cruise or the late Trish Keenan. Surrounding Magali’s airy delivery with undulating synthesizers, pulsing Stratocasters, and echo-laden saxophone, Cacchione’s words evoke the spirituality of seeking:

“Your bones are broken / Your dreams are all unspoken / A strange devotion put you back in motion,” pines Charron, affirming that hope is anything but lost, it’s just not where we’ve been looking.

As the sun sets, our characters pilgrimage leads them to one frozen moment, where life’s struggles recede into the movements of love and music.

“I wrote Night Dances for Magali to sing,” explains Cacchione, “this is a romantic song and probably the closest I can come to explaining what the mystery of going through life together feels like for me. I feel so lucky to have Magali’s beautiful voice bring these words to life.”

Distilling their unique musical vision into it’s most focused form, Caged Animals remain understated and curious on “Night Dances.” Their pop-forward melodicism is both well-worn and refreshing; remaining direct, soulful, and uniquely unguarded. A full album is expected in early 2017.
