Offering a skittish instrumental as a taste from the upcoming LP Moving Pieces Of The Sea, Sydney collective The Crooked Fiddle Band showcase seemingly freeform proficiency, leaning towards post-rock at times. The analogue clarity of Steve Albini’s production fails to achieve the warmth found on say, his work for Joanna Newsom, but does concoct a spacious unease throughout. The polyrhythmic impulses are at times distancing, but there is a moment when things come together for a heavy Kashmir-like breakdown at around the five and a half minute mark.
