Kitchen Dwellers surprised fans on Friday with the release of The Katabatic EP. Out now via No Coincidence Records, the three-song EP was recorded back in 2021 and includes two instrumental tracks featuring guest trumpeter Eric “Benny” Bloom of Lettuce—each embodying the band’s experimental galaxy grass approach—plus a more traditional midtempo bluegrass song.

“These songs are a snapshot of late November 2021,” guitarist Max Davies shared. “The four of us went into the studio just after Thanksgiving to lay down some tracks. We had recorded Wise River earlier that year and had yet to begin work on Seven Devils, but we had some ideas we wanted to capture.

“The three-song EP covers a lot of ground in a short sprint. The source of the inspiration for these songs can be found in Montana where we were spending some downtime before the holidays. There’s a juxtaposition in these songs, just like the weather and geography in Montana, or the styles of the four friends who created this small collection of music.”
