Cave Arcade is an indie rock band from Canmore, Alberta, crafting shimmering, guitar-driven songs that balance sharp wit with a hazy sense of nostalgia. Fronted by Louis Trautman (guitar, lead vocals), alongside Andrew Laver (lead guitar, backing vocals), Eli Panning-Osendarp (bass, synth), and Austin Novakowski (drums), the band brings a tight, dynamic chemistry to a sound that feels both expansive and immediate.

They first emerged with their self-titled debut EP, Cave Arcade, a reverb-drenched release rooted in surf-inspired textures that quickly carved out a style that’s cinematic, layered, and quietly anthemic. Since their 2022 full-length The Vaguest Details, Cave Arcade has continued to evolve, leaning further into atmosphere without losing their melodic core.

Their latest EP, Castles, marks a confident step forward—bigger, more immersive, and emotionally resonant, while still carrying the offbeat charm that defines their songwriting.
