INTRODUCING: Caviare Days

• 19th Oct 2012

Caviare Days is a psychedelic rock band fronted by Swedish sisters Lina and Maja Westin, and the name comes from a line in ‘Tender Is The Night’ by F.S. Fitzgerald. The band’s driving force lies in creating a well-tailored but dirty rock that is more baroque than minimalist and more organic than mechanical. They are known for their energetic and free-form live shows, mirroring a rock’n’roll tradition of bands like Jefferson Airplane backed up and intensified by a great deal of hair-flinging, head-banging moves – and some signature ass-shaking.

Their debut EP ‘The Awakening’ produced by Mats Björke of Mando Diao and Jorge Elbrecht of New York based Violens and mastered by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road Studios. The title track which created a buzz among music lovers and radio when it was released earlier this year in Sweden is replete with ethereal layers of spiralling guitars and reverb cleansed sexy allure. The song is “about waking up and realizing how much you’ve missed out on” say the band. “It is also about the stress imposed in you as a member of a society where everything seems possible, but can’t be lived out by everyone”.

Other than Lina and Maja, the band consists of Boris Grubesic on guitar, Marcus Arborelius och keyboards and Timmy Grim Fredriksson on drums. This fall, Caviare Days played at Stockholm Waterfront during fashion week, and also played a unique set of shows in Hamburg for Repeerbahn Festival, one in a bed, one in a brewery and one in a boat.

This striking EP is their debut UK release and comes out on 26th November on label259 Records.
