Stillness is a very difficult state to achieve in music. Jazz, Brian Eno, Paul Simon, Cass McCombs, Red House Painters, Bill Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye. That's a complete random set of names. Add Paco Cathcart to that. His latest album Down On Them, us a wonderfully 'still' record. In motion but the 'still centre of the turning world.'
Paco works from NYC and has worked with the likes if Water From Your Eyes, Palberta and Open Eyes. Down On Them is a lilting, minimal record. Very light if touch and positive.Mindful of a sunny day and stones skipping across the surface of a lake. A great start to the weekend.
