I've been known to throw the word cacophony around loosely in the last year, but this here is the cacophony to end all cacophonies. Nat Baldwin is the one responsible, and from the depths of Brooklyn gives us an experimental blend of folk and jazz together in near-perfect harmony. You'll see what I mean. His "Lifted" is a true work of art, dotted with sections of disarray that you fear may not come together. Don't fret, friends, for nothing can be chaotic forever. The folky vocals are a nice contrast to the backwards orchestra too. Believe me, "Lifted" will grow on you. It took a while for me to get into the explosions of sound, but there's something about a hiccuping trumpet that gets me every time.
