Is it instrumental hip-hop or hard-hitting jazz? Critics agree that Plate Fork Knife Spoon is carving out its own brand of music. Born from the critically acclaimed Crown City Rockers rhythm section: kat ouano (keyboards), Headnodic (bass/producer) and Max MacVeety (drums), Plate Fork Knife Spoon debuts its self-titled release on San Francisco based Wide Hive Records. The Bay Area based rhythm section lays down a firm foundation for the albums guest performers, Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno, The Broun Fellinis saxophonist David Boyce and fellow Crown City Rocker emcee, Raashan Ahmad.
