“…was incredibly beautiful in how it slowly revealed all components together as a body of sound. I felt like there were moments when I could not tell who was playing or saying what because it all seamlessly blended into one.

“Like Butler, Chromic Duo claims that relations are not simply influential, but even more compelling: they are made up and undone by them.

“And it’s often the smallest wonders that blossom into the grandest and wildest concoctions.
The toy piano is like a symbol of being able to give yourself the permission to play, to not judge yourself, and to show a little bit more empathy for yourself and for the people around you.”
