New Song from Cayetana (and An Awesome Cover)

Cayetana at Asbury Lanes back in August of 2015.

Tired Eyes

I've been waiting for a while for new music from Philadelphia's Cayetana. Nervous Like Me is still in heavy rotation for me, and the new songs I heard Augusta Koch perform at Russo Music had me looking forward to something from the band.

Today, Cayetana premiered a couple of tracks over at Noisey. They make up the 2-song Tired Eyes EP. The first, "Freedom1313," contains a sentiment I know all too well: "Doing what you love won't make you money, and doing what you hate will make you full." Like many of the songs on Nervous Like Me, "Freedom1313" rides on top of Allegra Anka's swirling bass. It was that bass that had me thinking of New Order more than once over the course of listening to Cayetana's debut. And, wouldn't you know it? The second song here is a cover of my favorite New Order song of all time, "Age of Consent."

Asian Man records are doing a one-time vinyl 7" pressing of the EP. I've got a blue one on the way already. Cayetana are celebrating with a release show at Philly's PhilaMOCA on January 23rd with Mannequin Pussy, Katie Ellen, and Jeff Riddle & The Bella Vista Social Club.

Doesn't look like the tracks are embeddable right now, so head over to Noisey to check them out.
