21st Century Digital Boy

Dec 29, 2011, 12:26pm Bleedin Out

Armageddon must be around the corner- I just got a MacBook Pro. Hey, my company wanted me to get a laptop (and footed the bill), so why not go for it? I'm making dick money, might as well get a perk. Now I am truly a tethered 21st centruy boy- I got the 'droid phone, the desktop and the laptop. I might as well get one of those tracing collars for around my neck and the RFID chip embedded in my forehead. Of course, with 2012 breathing down our necks, I'm rootin' for the apocalypse... when [...]

Benji B and The Deviation String Quartet Live (Stream)

Oct 27, 2011, 1:36pm earmilk.com

What would happen if you put Benji B and the Deviation String Quartet in a pod, on top of the biggest Ferris wheel in Europe, then gave them an open bar and told them to party? Picture that, then repeat the process thirty times with everyone from Digital Sound Boy and Skream and Benga to Rodigan and the 2 Bears. I once spent a week watching water drip off leaves, counting the number of branches in a tree thinking "what would happen if..." Well, now we know. You can stream all the sets from [...]

Live Review: Andrew Lipke and the Azrael String Quartet: CD Release Show at Tin Angel (9/24)

Sep 25, 2011, 11:21pm One Fan at a Time

The Tin Angel is a great music venue that takes pride in its listening room style. That's all good and well, but it's the patrons that form the audience that make a good listening room a great listening room. And last night the Tin Angel was an amazing listening room – the crowd was absolutely silent at all the important moments. It was phenomenal to see Andrew Lipke and the Azrael String Quartet play in a venue with an audience that had absolute respect for live music. For those who don't know, Andrew Lipke [...]

NOW Ensemble - Awake / Chicara String Quartet/Matmos - Jefferson Friedman Quartets

Jun 27, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters

The label New Amsterdam releases two albums from two different chamber music groups on the same day, showing us just how tricky and rewarding the classical subgenre can be. Chamber music has steadily become slightly more hip these days. This classical subgenre once occupied by greying wigs from Prague is now becoming infiltrated by spring-hatched Julliard grads that spend just as much time shopping at J. Crew and posing for photo shoots as they do practicing their instruments. Not that this is a bad thing -- classical music will always place substance before style -- but it does change [...]

New Music | Kris Orlowski & The Passenger String Quartet

Jun 10, 2011, 10:17pm Music Savage

Kris Orlowski and the Passenger String Quartet - Your Move Seattle-based Kris Orlowski has been making some really beautiful indie folk music as of late. Though he occasionally plays solo, his recent EP, Freemont Abbey features a string quartet and an eight-person choir. The EP is a really well-crafted set of songs. The songs are simple, but beautifully written, and the string quartet adds a new depth that makes Orlowski's tunes stand out amongst the indie-folk crowd. Though he's playing mostly on the west coast this summer, keep an eye out for [...]

Listen: New Bat For Lashes song live with string quartet

Jun 6, 2011, 10:18am One Thirty BPM

Natasha Khan has been popping up every now and again since she finished touring her last Bat For Lashes album Two Suns , but mostly to deliver covers. We haven't heard much about a new Bat For Lashes album, which, though you may not realise yet, you really want to hear. (Well, I do, and hopefully people feel the same way). Therefore there's good news coming out of Sydney as last week Bat For Lashes took to the stage with a string quartet and performed a set chock-full of old favourites, a few covers and, excitingle, a [...]

Oh Land Goes Live With String Quartet + Remixes

Mar 23, 2011, 8:00am Music Under Fire

There's something foreign enough about Nanna Øland ("Oh Land") Fabricius ' singing that is just as much off as it is perfectly in its right place. Oh Land's lead vocalist, the daughter of an opera singer, snuck into the scene quite loudly to say the least. Her picture has been plastered all over the internet as her subtle beauty is as striking as the off-centered pop Oh Land seems to deliver so easily and palpably... and we're just talking about their self-titled LP (follow up to 20082s Fauna) which released last week (March 15th).

Weekend Videos: Oh Land – Lean (live with string quartet)

Mar 19, 2011, 8:56pm Cougar Microbes

Oh Land is a cracking new experimental electro pop act that peels influences from Björk, The Pierces and a touch of Alex Winston to boot. 'Sun of a Gun' is the most probably the most pop focused of her outputs with a catchy chorus and theatrical production that has become almost a staple to female [...]

I'm really happy that Nanna Øland Fabricius, or more popularly known as Oh Land, has been rising in popularity over the past few months. Her songs have a fun, upbeat quality to them so it's always nice to see her perform stripped-down versions of them. In this video, Oh Land is performing "Lean" with the Nightingale [...]

Hear Local Natives w/ String Quartet on KCRW

Feb 21, 2011, 12:48pm TwentyFourBit

Local Natives' 2010 rise rolls on into 2011 with this month's amazing "Take Away Show" , a string of tour dates opening for Arcade Fire, and a huge show this weekend at the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. Ahead of the lattermost event, the harmonizing quintet stopped by KCRW the other day, performing some new arrangements for a 44-minute set accompanied by a Disney Hall-ready string quartet. It's an excellent performance and welcome consolation prize for those of us unable to hear Gorilla Manor cuts bounce against [...]
