Crabs & Feathers shape a calm and inviting world on their new instrumental album “Rarefaction”. It’s an eleven-track ride that feels warm and the kind of project you can play in one go without ever wanting to skip anything. The duo move through different moods and letting the guitar and sax slide around each other in a way that feels thoughtful. There’s a lightness in the way they play as if they’re letting you sit with them while they explore ideas at their own pace.
The atmosphere is soft and each track has its own direction. You can hear their background and roots in the way the melodies flow and their unique touch gives everything a gentle glow. The production keeps things clear and lets every little detail show without making it feel crowded. Nothing feels rushed and every part seems placed with care.
It’s been a long time since I’ve enjoyed an instrumental album this much. I found myself completely relaxed while listening and almost forgetting I had work to do. These two really know what they’re doing and I’m excited to see where they head next. I’ll definitely be following them in the new year.
