JUST LISTEN: The Caracals “In the Dark”
The Deets:
Who: The Caracals
Song: “In the Dark”
Appears On: “In the Dark” is The Caracals’ debut single, released on Friday, February 23rd. The band plans to release an EP by this summer.
Current Location: Orange County, CA
Info: Featuring two current members of Hanni El Khatib, the track was mastered by sound engineer Brian Lucey (Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys).
The Caracals is a band hailing from Orange County, CA. They have an eclectic approach to their blend of garage and indie rock with a gritty feel. The sound of the band is inspired by the gritty, fuzzy yet melodic sounds of artists the likes of The Last Shadow Puppets or The Black Keys. The idea is to craft exciting down-to-earth tracks that are filled to the brims with chunky guitar riffs, energetic vocals and steady rhythm sections with a retro feel. The Caracals set out to reformulate the indie rock sound, while embracing other influences, such as 60s surf, with a contemporary twist.
Comments: This is a damn fine introduction to The Caracals, a rousing debut single with driving rhythms, cathartic vocals and a soulful retro vibe that’s hard to resist. The first single mixes everything from garage rock, to roots rock, to surf rock effortlessly and showing a band that’s ready to make some noise. While this is the only taste of The Caracals that we have so far, this is an exciting new project for any pure rock ‘n’ roll enthusiasts.
