Wabi-Sabi

Cross Record's early work boasted a desolate, folk-born sound redolent of early Cat Power. On their new record, Swans and Shearwater percussionist Thor Harris lends them an entirely new energy, creating an inspired fusion of wispy and visceral sounds.

Their first act of speaking something out of nothing is a definite success. You get the most authentic strains of modern…

The brilliance of this Cross Record album, ‘Wabi-Sabi’, is in how perfect calm gets broken by a terrifying storm.

Cross Record's second album Wabi Sabi is named after a Japanese aesthetic emphasizing the beauty of things that are imperfect, asymmetrical, and impermanent.

There’s a pronounced elegance to Wabi-Sabi. Wispy vocals layered across delicate musical patterns that float, difficult to slot neatly into genre.
