On the contrary, the band has been tearing up stages across the country the entire time.

Boy” Englert and the “new guys”– drummer Tony Snow and bassist Mike Davis, aka The Thunder Brothers, who joined twenty or so years ago–have let any dust gather, any moss to grow. Thirteen years is a long time between releases, but it’s not as though the band, which includes original members/guitarists Peter Wood and Mark “Mr. Miracle or not, the new material highlights the overall timelessness of the band’s sound, which is as fresh today as when they released their critically acclaimed first album, Cinema Verite, in 1985. It really is nothing short of a minor miracle that I'm not dead or completely burnt out."

Crenshaw would never have marred the latter sog with Todd Spahr's metaloid guitar, though, and even at their most acidic the Fab Four never got quite so drunk on production frippery as does "Martini." Swamp Song Lyrics: Im riding a rocket / I got my ticket in my pocket / No home in the slow lane / Im kind of riding on a ghost train / I need some.
The pop-rock roots of these songs can sometimes be glimpsed: both "I I I" and "Sorrow (Boots of Pain)," for example, bear a melodic resemblance to the work of Marshall Crenshaw.
The Boston trio recaps its earlier, more tuneful sound on "I I I," while "Sonny Day," "Boy in a Plastic Bubble" and "Tarzan and his Arrowheads" are reasonably pithy rockers, although the latter features a psychedelic/music-hall bridge. Even when the production doesn't swamp them (as it does on the closing "Circus Song," dense with late-Beatles psychedelicisms), these arrangements value ostentation over immediacy. Produced by Michael Beinhorn (whose credits include the Red Hot Chili Peppers), "Soul Martini" is energetic and accomplished but rather labored. LARGELY TRADING in the winsome power-pop of its neo-Merseybeat debut album, "Joyrides for Shut-Ins," the Cavedogs have returned with a sound that's harder-edged, more complex and altogether less appealing.
