Capillary Action is the name under which Philadelphia, PA native and Oberlin College senior Jonathan Pfeffer releases records. Jonathan is accompanied live by keyboardist Sam Krulewitch or Kevin McHugh, drummer Ricardo Lagomasino, and bassist Spencer Russell.

On various recordings, Capillary Action blend aspects of jazz, improvised music, harsh noise, tropicalia, metallic hardcore, power metal, math rock, IDM, no wave, video game music, alt-country, bossa nova, and other styles to produce a unique sound that has been compared to just about every artist under the sun. The modus operandi of the collective is to never make the same record twice.

Jonathan formed the Pangaea Recordings label to release his work. In addition to Capillary Action, Pangaea is also home to Brooklyn four-piece Hi Red Center, as well as a few other like-minded artists.
