Ethel fare.

"A High-Octane Chamber Group’s Continuing Insurrection"
The New York Times, February 11, 2007

EthelAn article about two recent recordings by radical string quartet Ethel. I haven’t seen the print edition of the paper yet, but missing from the web view is the live peg for this piece: Ethel is throwing a party this Thursday night, February 15, at Symphony Space. The concert, dubbed "Ethel Fair," features guests such as Navajo singer James Bilagody, avant-klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer, complex-metal consort Electric Kompany and new-wave icon Thomas Dolby. (Yes, "She Blinded Me with Science" is a promised inclusion.)
