Bird Songs

“K10” by Cavaliers:

If you love her, let her go. That was Stephen Wolfe’s motto four years ago, after the dissolution of his Lawrence band Getaway Driver. But after a year or so exchanging cold, blank stares with that forsaken guitar in the corner, Wolfe picked it up — and damned if that muse didn’t come crawling right back. This time around, she wore sundresses: twangy guitars, poetic turns of phrase, Last Waltz-inspired melodies and just enough pop-sicles to keep things sticky. When she was nearly wooed, she sent Wolfe into the woods with a digital recorder, and he recorded the birds. They sing cheerfully on the new Cavaliers record, Except for the Birds. (Everything else was recorded at Black Lodge Studios.) Join Wolfe when he and the gang throw a record-release party tonight at the Jackpot Music Hall (943 Massachusetts in Lawrence, 785-832-1085) with support from Rubbish and the Roseline.
