Heroes of Indie Music, CD Review >>

The past two weeks have been a time of review and reflection on this soon to be released (February 9th) offering from ”Real Vocal String Quartet.”  Normally, I can get a sense of the style and artistic prowess of a release after a mere handful of auditions.  Not this time.  This album strikes all the good chords in my appreciation of classical music.  This is professionally done with an international mix of styles/genres.  I am especially enjoying the vocal tracks from Irene Sazer and comrades.  What beautiful voices that blend so playfully. Their warmth of personality that flows from these lyrics and often plucked arrangements will keep you coming back for more. 

FLOWER NOTE - REAL VOCAL STRING QUARTET:

So what do classically trained Windham Hill refugees do when the system turns their back on them and sets them adrift in the Bay area? Pretty much what ever they damned well please. Classical with a punk/lounge core sensibility, these ladies will not be playing any tea parties anytime soon, unless it’s a guest shot on “Weeds”. Kinda world, kinda classical, kinda folk, kinda a bit of everything, this is way out adult listening that never gets cute for the sake of being cute, it’s solidly played above everything else. A wondrous left field outing that won’t disappoint. http://midwestrecord.com/MWR138.html
