They are a string quartet, obviously, but what makes them unusual is that they only play arrangements of popular songs - everything from The Fray to Shania Twain to Guns N' Roses.
Reallay, you say. Yes, really! say I. And they pull it off quite well, too.
My personal favorites: Enya's "Boadicea" and Coldplay's "X&Y."
Here, have a listen. If you can't see it in your RSS readers, there is a playlist below, or you can look them up on iTunes for a way better selection of tracks than they have on Project Playlist.

ReplyDeleteHmm, I've seen them on Itunes but must investigate further...:-)
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love Enya's music! I used to listen to her all the time when I was really little and dance around to her songs. :D Haha, and I love your blog post title--it kinda reminds me of how I sometimes talk at home. :P

Pretty awesome. I think I have a new band to look up. (Quartet, band...something like that.) Thanks for posting the link!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the accounts of your Iceland travels, by the way :D
