THE SIRIUS CONGLOMERATE AND SPECTROX® PHARMACEUTICAL

— 

WELCOME YOU TO "MAJOR"

The Caves is a 16-track indie-electronic pop album inspired by an iconic piece of British Sci-Fi television from 1984 featuring a pair of time-travellers, a masked rebel, a powerful businessman and a mysterious substance with the power to extend life or end it.

The Sevateem are Christian Erickson and Janey Winterbauer who used to be in Astronaut Wife and are each currently in a bunch of other bands. Yoda is our Buddha, Robocop is our New Testament, D.I.Y. is our M.O. We record and mix electronic music at home and release it on the internet.

Christian has been an obsessive fan of a certain British sci-fi television show involving "timey-wimey stuff" since age 13. "The Caves" is an homage to his all-time favorite episode and is presented in the form of a "rock opera" - with various singers taking on the role of different characters in the story including Jeremy Messersmith, Mark Mallman, James Diers, Janey Winterbauer, Ed Ackerson, Angela Ducklinsky and Christian Erickson.
