It opens with a plea. While everything around us, world events, work, technology, all seem to push and shout at us to “Go! Go! Go!” Some Creatures,Delicate Cutters’ first recording for Skybucket Records, emerges as a sobering voice, calling on us to slow down, savor these moments, this music, each other… Over the course of the thirteen tracks comprising Some Creatures,Delicate Cutters examine themes of transition, family, impermanence and loss, delivering a message rich with hope, compassion and a powerful understanding of how these shared experiences connect us with one another.
Following extensive performances across the southeast in support of 2006’s We Are Not Lovers, Delicate Cutters reconvened in 2009, pared down from a quintet to a quartet, to begin working on the songs that would become Some Creatures.
This paring down offered new opportunities for Janet Simpson to explore more space in her songwriting. This space provides an opportunity for each player’s own voice and expression in the ensemble.
The result is a set songs that are trim without being spare, a focused album of unified vision. Kevin Nicholson, a well-known fiddle player in the southeastern U.S.’s Irish music scene, helps propel the emotional intensity of the album.
Ferocious at times, at others subdued and textural, his play sets a deft balance with Janet’s vocal and instrumental work. Chance Shirley,
in addition to leading the rhythm section, brings his experience as a film director to the band, enhancing the cinematic scope of the album, a fact evidenced by the licensing of one of the album’s tracks in the upcoming film L.A. I Hate You starring Malcolm McDowell. Bass player Brian Moon also produced the album, his intimacy with songs apparent in the rewards found in repeated
intentional listens.
