Little fluffy clouds of music, occasionally darkened by sonic thunderheads; with a sunny lining of stringed instruments and live performances now and then.

They're not some sort of power-share stock but rather QQQ is a string-driven bluegrass-leaning folk ensemble with a classical twist. The quartet's label, New Amsterdam Records, describes the ensemble this way, "Cram together a waltz à la Bill Monroe with a Norwegian wedding march, mix in some 2 and 4 and add a bit of improvisation and a post-something classical style. Now you have an idea of one QQQ tune." QQQ just released a debut album, and came to WFMU to play live. |

Irene, don't know if I've ever asked, but could you play something from Harmonium's "L'Heptade" again sometime?

Irene, you have an error on your playlist. The 'Tin Hat Trio' track is not 'Intractable,' but rather 'The Comet.'
