A Feather in a Hurricane - out 11/28

Oliver the Crow—cellist Kaitlyn Raitz and fiddler Ben Plotnick—return with their long-awaited second album, A Feather in a Hurricane: a bold, through-composed work co-produced with musical polymath Anthony Da Costa. Hailed by NPR as an “inspired collaboration,” the Nashville-based duo first made waves with a genre-bending debut recorded in a solar-powered cabin using only cello, fiddle, and voice. Now, after five transformative years, Raitz (2025 Americana Instrumentalist of the Year nominee) and Plotnick (JUNO Award-winner) expand their sonic world with drums, guitars, piano, and immersive textures. The result is an ambitious, emotionally resonant album that blurs genre lines while staying true to the duo’s roots—and their relentless pursuit of honest, boundary-pushing music.
