Music with an edge
Unchartered waters
Latest release: Shifty Adventures in Nookie Wood
Cale's music grows on you. One of his records was deemed as "chamber music for the homeless" As a musician he has explored the niches of noise as well as the commercial poppy sounds of the seventies. He doesn't snub hard rock, he explores the margins of minimal music. Nowadays he follows hiphop closely.
"I don't look over my shoulder. I focus on whatever I haven't been able to do before and strive for it. I remember what I didn't get done the last time I was recording and start there."
