#2755: Chamber-Rock

New Sounds | May 24, 2010

Hear some Chamber-rock from the Nels Cline Singers (an instrumental group), whose latest, Draw Breath, features San Francisco Bay Area rhythm section aces Devin Hoff on acoustic bass and Scott Amendola on drumset, percussion, and live electronics/loops/treatments. On an excited note, the special guest on the record is Nels Cline's bandmate in Wilco, Glenn Kotche! Also, listen to new music from the collective known as NOW Ensemble along with Mico Nonet's ambient chamber music. Plus, the magic release from the Kronos Quartet with Wu Man playing a work by Terry Riley. And of course, much more.
