Cave Bat
“Cave Bat, our pick for Atlanta’s top experimental act of 2015, never fails to deliver its monthly grip of expansive, curious, and vibrant sounds. Last month, the trio of Nathan Brown, Kris Nelson, and Rob Sepanski delivered not one but two tripped-out sets via Bandcamp. But while Cave Bat scales up in the quantity department, the quality department is upping the ante as well. Last week, the group released “Expedition,” by far the dubbiest and most seductive explorations they’ve issued yet.” – Bobby Power, Creative Loafing
