A Lullaby by Catonti: Review
In a world with an abundance of music, I’m glad I came across the enchanting “Lullaby” by Catonti. The song starts of with with a smooth Neo soul riff accompanied by guitar, and the bass playing lightly in the background. The drum sequence is very laid back and reminds you of a chilled out jazz session at a low-key bar. I truly enjoyed the bass parts the most.
In the middle of the song the band enters a very energetic stance that will completely blow your brains away, it’s a fantastic melody for getting lost into. There is such an innate resonance with the music of Catonti, that feels so refreshing to hear. The band manages to pull you in on their instrumental storytelling, once you’re in, you’re bound to get hooked on their sound. There should be structures in the instrumental genre just like Catonti uses that focus on the music’s vibe more, than how adept an instrumentalist is at their craft. Not that anything’s wrong with being highly skilled, but sometimes the minimalist tone of Catonti works exceptionally well too. This is arguably what made The Beatles great. There is no doubt they were exceptionally skilled, but they did not feel the need to “show off” in every track they’ve ever made. As some people say, it’s about the feel, not the skill.
The band’s journey started in Jerusalem upon meeting each other. Their current album’s a concept album about maturity and development from the perspective of a young person.
