Paco Cathcart's debut album, 'Down on Them', showcases their musical evolution since beginning as the Cradle in 2013. Collaborating with fellow musicians, the ensemble explores the nuances of urban life. The twelve tracks offer a multifaceted portrait of New York City, balancing its harsh realities with moments of beauty and resilience. Songs like 'Oh, Joy' and 'Pale Grey Light' exemplify this interplay, with cathartic harmonies and poignant lyrics that touch on themes of loneliness and existential reflection. The album reflects both personal and collective urban experiences.
New York City can sometimes feel like it takes more than it gives; a certain suspension of disbelief is required to continue paying rent.
Together, the ensemble builds intricate, transfixing melodies with a weighty undercurrent that's reminiscent of the way a populous city can still feel profoundly lonely.
