I saw Sebastian the Crab playing his NORD keyboard in the subway tunnel and was immediately taken by the swelling harmonies reverberating throughout the expansive tile of the Canal Street station. The tone of his songs calls to mind images of robots drinking coffee, philosophizing over their distant origins at the hands of a fabled “human race.” Throughout "Hungry Heart," slightly blown-out keys and sparse electro drums titter and percolate, permeating your whole body with a warm buzz. There is an invigorating sense of inspiration teamed with a pinch of desolation in the way he plays comparable to Bibio and Mt. Eerie. For fans of lo-fi instrumentals, this Hungry Heart will leave you quite satiated. -=brokeMC
