Las Vegas’ Caravels have announced routing for a fall tour with Have Mercy. Dates include two appearances at CMJ where they will play alongside indie veterans Braid and Jazz June, among others, at Topshelf Records two showcases on October 18 and 19. The band is out in support of their latest LP Lacuna. See dates below.
Praise for Caravels’ “Lacuna”:
“…intricate guitar work…brooding melodies and powerful climaxes…… near-perfection. Caravels are on the cusp of something great and I think Lacuna will expedite their progress. …one of the best for the year thus far.”- Punknews
“Lacuna is an album made by a band that’s taken the time to hone its songwriting and define its creative focus. While certainly energetic—the band recorded all 10 songs live, during a marathon overnight studio session—the record is also meticulous, arranged to maximize dynamic contrast and emotional impact. … bear a passing resemblance to The Cure circa Pornography. Dense in all the right ways—and challenging to absorb—Lacuna stands tall among its peers.”- Las Vegas Weekly
“The album plays through like a high-definition version of the live show, instilling that same bump of adrenaline…”- Las Vegas City Life
“When Caravels are locked into off-kilter emo jams such as ‘Hundred Years’ sounding like an indie rock-infused Hoover, it doesn’t get much better.”-Alternative Press
