On vocalist/bassist Nate Sabat's debut EP "Walking Away", sweeping, wall-of-sound textures mix seamlessly with quiet moments of duets and trios. Danceable rhythms intertwine with jagged, uncommon grooves. A wide variety of artistic influences -- from the Stanley Brothers to Dvořák, from Joni Mitchell to XTC -- come together, leaving the listener with a clear, original statement at the record's completion.
