Crossings

2021

That rapid accretion of ideas resulting in the layers, moods, and atmospheres that are captured on Crossings come suffused with a vitality and energy that flows back and forth between these two artists. A sonic conversation of sorts, edited and honed into a series of elegant and sometimes emotional statements, the album is a vivid, engaging presence inviting listeners to join Thelen and Durant as they journey from one side of the world to the other. In precarious times such as these, it’s a comforting thought to know we’re in such good company.
