Caged Animals

Caged Animals is the project of Vin Cacchione and Magali Charron.  The pair met in the late-night frenzy of NYC’s mid-00’s anti-folk scene.  Vin, the budding songwriter, and Magali the photographer with violin-chops.  

Since 2020 they have called Sackville, NB home and have released Make Strange Friends for venerable purveyors of indie song You’ve Changed Records.  Caged Animals’ music sits at the intersection between folky lyricism and the DIY charm of indie-rock.

They have toured internationally, and shared stages with Julie Doiron, DIIV, Blood Orange, and Mac DeMarco and Vin’s music has appeared in film, television, and acclaimed podcasts:  he recently composed the score for the Jessica Chastain–led series The Space Within. 

On their new album Make Strange Friends the duo worked with Jon McKiel to capture their intimate, story-driven songs on his Tascam 388. The music pairs the blacklight anxiety of Nebraska with a kaleidoscopic musicality akin to Mutations.  The album closes with an unlikely final track, a thirty-minute absurdist radio drama, reflecting Vin’s inter-disciplinary work in music and audio fiction. Caged Animals are in a world of their own.  

Vin and Magali are proud to be joined by Steven Lambke, Gaelen Olinski, and Luke Patterson to bring their new record to the Shivering Songs stage.
