Some of Pit er Pat's key traits suggest a renaissance of rock-based minimalism and faux-jazz wankery: They're a keyboard-bass-drums trio out of Chicago recording for Thrill Jockey Records, the label that launched a thousand vibraphones via Tortoise and the Sea and Cake.

Luckily, Pit er Pat escape such easy pigeonholing; keyboardist Fay Davis-Jeffers sings sometimes haunting, sometimes poignant lyrics with her fey, unassuming voice, while the rhythm section collapses and rebuilds around her.
