It seems that these days, only the indie rock kids know how to rock without guitars. A couple years ago, Sufjan Stevens brought the sexy back to the banjo, and more recently, my hometown homeboy Owen Pallett (aka Final Fantasy) made the violin cool again. So here’s a group that take the awesomeness of the violin, add some cello, and write some quirky, catchy indie pop tunes. I like that they’re pretty simple, halfway between Final Fantasy and Joanna Newsom (especially on Merriweather Awaken). What I especially like about them is that they’re taking relatively simple tunes and making them sound fresh by using the mini string section. I can’t wait to hear more from them.
