The Cradle is the artistic alias of New York City-based musician Paco Cathcart. In addition to working as a recording engineer focusing on analog mediums, Cathcart has honed their craft over the years as a member of bands such as Big Neck Police, Shimmer and Climax Landers, all the while crafting nearly 30 personal solo albums and experiments across various labels and self-releases. ‘Bag Of Holding’ takes all of these experiences and uses them thoughtfully to build a masterful, proper full-length album of highly personal and expressive orchestral pop compositions.

Judette Elliston (they/she) is a Haitian-Canadian vocalist, composer, and sound artist based in Brooklyn, New York. Their work focuses on amplifying our inner worlds; exploring the emotional and ancestral histories that reverberate within. Their music draws from the improvisational spirit of jazz, singer-songwriter storytelling styles, and the rich rhythmic and harmonic traditions of Haitian folkloric music. Elliston's most recent project Tiny is a chamber-jazz EP set for release in October 2024.
