Strings Of Life

It must be an amazing time for cellists. First Arcade Fire ushered in a new age of orchestral indie-rock and opened the gates for a thousand string-sectioned imitators. Now the disco revival means dancefloors are bursting with swooping bows in search of a bit of Arthur Russell authenticity. One of our favourite new bands, Free Blood, put those four bass strings to good use on their new EP, the succinctly titled EP2, where you’ll find the intergalactic narcolepsy of Adventures Close To Home‘s Royal Family remix and glorious disco spazzout, Grumpy.
