The beauty of “Over My Head” is that while on one hand it is extremely futuristic in its sound, on the other hand it makes you kind of sway like there’s an old Otis Redding song playing. This can probably be best attributed to a blues sounding down beat updated by a purposeful “other-worldly” quality to the music.
“Over My Head” is indicative of the other changes happening in Caveman’s new album. With Caveman, the group has successfully managed to be one of those bands that can take their sound in a new direction without sacrificing any of the quality. Whereas the band fell far more conventionally into your indie rock genre, the forward-thinking ensemble has successfully combined their talent as musicians with an awareness of the up-and-coming sound of indie rock. Gone is the memory of any light acoustics — Caveman has tapped into an altogether bigger sound. If you like “Over My Head,” check out “In the City” as well. It’s a similar yet more upbeat sound.
