A standout new track from Philadelphia-based musician and producer Six O’Matic, “Sit Calm” is a climactic instrumental success — swelling from solemn strings into twinkling, frolicking orchestral allure. The initially forlorn strings and brass-y emanations drive into a sleighbell-like percussive flair, gradually escalating into a rhythmic pit-pattering. A lush, breezy orchestral embrace — with woodwinds at the forefront — consume past the one-minute turn, then assuming a brisker and more effervescent charm across the track’s satiating second half. “Sit Calm” is a thoroughly inviting, triumphant showing from Six O’Matic.
