Caged Animals' new song "Wildflowers" is an ode to parenthood that doesn't suck
“I wrote 'Wildflowers' a couple months after the birth of my daughter Alaska,” says Caged Animals' Vincent Cacchione.
“My mind was swimming with nature. Becoming a parent made me understand something about the power of each individual. How we transcend our humble beginnings and make our live’s meaningful.”
The band's new track marks a return to form the Brooklyn-based band and drops ahead of a new record early in 2017. "Wildflowers" is a poignant art-pop jam that swirls with metaphor, expressive sax and a groove that doesn't let up.
"We found out we were having a girl a couple days after Lou Reed passed and decided to call her Alaska as a small tribute," Cacchione tells Best Fit. "We went to his memorial show a few deals later at the Apollo with Samantha (Urbani) and Dev (Hynes) and bounced two names off them, Coco and Alaska (I think they were feeling Coco tho) but after the show was done Alaska just felt like the right choice."
The band's yet-to-be-titled new album will be their third long player and promises guest appearances from Neutral Milk Hotel’s Julian Koster and avant-alto-saxophonist Chris Aiello.
