And before the aftershockscould die down, Cave In evolved more radically thananyone could have predicted.While members have forged divergent paths with Old ManGloom, Mutoid Man, Clouds and Zozobra in the years since,Creative Eclipses was the first signal that a band alreadycelebrated for their innovation could effortlessly push beyondanything they’d tried before.Before Jupiter could transform Cave In into rock saviors, therewere these five tracks. Opener “Luminance” is an ascendent,shimmering hymn that bruises the troposphere. The cover ofFailure’s “Magnified,” is taken over with such fervor it feels likesomething the band hatched themselves, and the acoustic “BurningDown the Billboards” is both a revolutionary and apocalypticanthem. The two “Sonatas,” both ambient tracks, can wholly standon their own as fascinating immersions into noise.Creative Eclipses is much more than a bridge between the twoworlds Cave In has inhabited; it’s a captivating example of thesonic rewards that follow the band every time they’ve chosen toobliterate expectations.
