18-piece orchestral pop collective Eskalators (not to be confused with British ska band The Eskalators) are best known for their impromptu Subway Show series on New York City subway cars. Their sophomore EP Cats and Dogs Living Together is full of five fun, infectious songs that combine melodic pop hooks with founder Eric Williams’ raw vocals, power chords, a horn section, and multiple instruments including flute, glockenspiel, and djembe percussion. The first print of Cats and Dogs Living Together is a limited edition of 200, with screen printed artwork done by the band members themselves, a fitting design approach for this DIY band. – Written by JFelton
