Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocia manage to get quite a bit out of not much at all. Their spare collaboration on 900 Miles references a wide swath of folk and jazz, but the nocturnal smokiness of Yarrow\'s haunted alto and Cappadocia\'s cello combine for a sound that\'s slightly outside of the usual music universe. There\'s some Cowboy Junkies here, a dash of Tuck & Patti there and an overall otherworldliness more akin to a David Lynch movie. Yarrow doesn\'t just vamp for the whole record though; her range careens from hushed to strident, and she even does a pretty fair PJ Harvey wail (circa 4-Track Demos) on \"Linin\' Track,\" and \"Isn\'t That So?\" Meanwhile, Cappadocia often puts down his bow, extracting some funk out of \"If I Had My Way,\" or leading off \"East Virginia\" with a little Latin guitar flavor. But the heart of the record is in the ballads, as the duo stretches out with long, dark adagio passages filled with dust and desire. Bethany & Rufus successfully transcend their limited instrumentation, coming up with a debut that gets better and better with each listen. –Matthew Cooke
