Washed Up

How Can Our Love Be Blind

Caged Animals is the musical moniker for Jersey-born, Brooklyn-based songwriter Vincent Cacchione and his family band.  With a long history in the borough’s DIY music scene, Cacchione emerged from his role fronting Soft Black (whose members included DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith) to form Caged Animals, alongside his sister Talya, partner Magali Charron, and childhood friend Patrick Curry.

“Wildflowers” is the first track to be shared from the band’s new album.  Built around a propulsive groove and nocturnal atmosphere, “Wildflowers” trades in the kind of noir-tinged, art-pop The New Yorker once described as a “hip-hop influenced Velvet Underground.”  

Enveloping his plain-spoken delivery in undulating synthesizers and paisley arpeggios, Cacchione uses extended metaphor to describe the power of new life.  From the song’s central image, a flower growing in an otherwise empty field, Cacchione begins:

“This is your proof of superpowers my favorite wildflower / scaling up the towers.”  His subject, a thing of great potential, “Born into a kingdom already conquered,” but getting stronger every day.  It’s no surprise to find this theme not only stems from something personal but has it’s roots in one of life’s biggest changes.

“I wrote Wildflowers a couple months after the birth of my daughter Alaska,” explains Cacchione.  “My mind was swimming with nature.  Becoming a parent made me understand something about the power of each individual.  How we transcend our humble beginnings and make our live’s meaningful.”

Distilling their unique musical vision into it’s most focused form, Caged Animals remain understated and curious on “Wildflowers.”  Their pop-forward melodicism is both well-worn and refreshing; remaining direct, soulful, and uniquely unguarded.  A full album is expected in early 2017, featuring guest appearances from Neutral Milk Hotel’s Julian Koster and avant-alto-saxophonist Chris Aiello.

Full EP: https://soundcloud.com/hybris/sets/wy-never-was-ep/s-SiSJH

Sad guitar, pulsing synths, brittle falsetto, majestic choruses, hyper-desperate sound, the sadness, confusion and every-day anxiety of youth, this is Wy.

If there is a specific genre for sad pop music, that is where Wy belongs. Between floating synthersizers and melancholic guitars the main focus lies on capturing every little feeling possible. Where the songs are not about unrequited love, but about being shy, feeling doubt and growing stronger from what others would describe as weakness. Where bare emotions are camouflaged by reverbed pop melodies. Where you can dance and cry at the same time because life never seems fair. Somewhere in that space and time, is Wy.

With their landmark debut EP "Never Was" Wy higlights their eclectic sound although within a narrow genre such as the alternative dream pop and shoegaze sphere. Wy consists of true longtime lovers Ebba and Michel, a creative duo knee deep in art they carve out their world together with both contributing to producing and writing music while Ebbas background as creative designer and photographer are behind all of the bands artwork, images and videos.

Guilty Party

“It's one of two love songs on the album. I usually have a hard time writing love songs, but I wanted to write about what it’s like being a couple when both of you struggle with social anxiety. It's about being uncomfortable around every person except one, and being each others safety zone.” - Wy
