about

Can Krautrock and jazz-fired electric guitar instrumentals co-exist with ambient sound collages of Fripp & Eno vintage and intimate acoustic vocal ballads straight out of the Nick Drake playbook? They can and do in Spaghetti Eastern Music, the solo project of New York City and Hudson Valley-based guitarist, keyboardist and vocalist Sal Cataldi.

Cataldi and his cheekily titled 2016 debut CD, “Sketches of Spam,” drew critical notice from the likes of The New York Times, Time Out NY, Jazz Times, The Huffington Post and many more. Now Spaghetti Eastern Music is back with an unusual, lengthy and luscious new single, “Her Lemon Peel Raincoat (Because It’s Raining).” Spaghetti Eastern’s newest is more mood altering, drone-y meditative soundscape than radio-ready pop. It is a preview of direction from his forthcoming untitled sophomore CD and Cataldi’s new spoken word/music side project, The Vapor Vespers, with noted Alaskan playwright/slam poet Mark Muro.

The new single in an elergy that unfolds over seven minutes, rising with a bed of mournful strings and echoey piano before the entrance of sustained eBow guitars and a lone acoustic, stating melody and soloing with an Iberian/Django flair. Halfway through the mood shifts, with the entrance of environmental sounds, the rain and a duo of children repeating the refrain, “because it’s raining,” before the sound sets with sustained drones, gentle percussion and a slow fade on the storm.
