Michael Cavanagh —better known as CAVS— returns with Sojourn, a bold step into new sonic territory. Known for his work with King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, Cavanagh leans fully into instrumental storytelling here, crafting a record that thrives without a single lyric.

Sojourn unfolds like a journey in motion. Drawing on elements of funky spiritual jazz, the album builds its narrative through evolving rhythms, layered textures, and dynamic shifts in mood. Each track feels like a chapter—exploration gives way to tension, which in turn resolves into moments of transformation.

It’s not just a side project—it’s a key piece in the ever-expanding King Gizzard universe. CAVS isn’t simply stepping outside the band’s sound; he’s extending it, proving that their creative ecosystem can stretch into deeply expressive, purely instrumental terrain.
