CAVE STATES TO RELEASE THEIR NEW THREE-SONG EP “JULIE SAYS” ON MAY 21ST
Songwriter Kathriner describes the lead single as a “semi-autobiographical account of an exchange I had with a friend years ago – albeit somewhat of a brief conversation (here) for the sake of fitting it into a song. There are two people who cannot see eye to eye – and yet they are so much alike – both sarcastic, proud, and unwilling to meet in the middle. A good friendship which ultimately ended because each party had shortcomings they were unwilling to admit – at the time. Years later – it’s easier to evaluate, of course. No, her name is not actually Julie.”
