Praised for ?immaculate precision and spirit? (The Strad), the quartet uses inventive musical pairings to uncover fresh perspectives and bold musical storytelling. The group?s latest project is forged in the sounds of mills, mines, and factory floors. Workers? songs ring out through the music as weaving looms clatter and churn, their archive recordings becoming part of the quartet?s sound world. From traditional arrangements to Britten, new works, and a reimagining of Joy Division?s Love Will Tear Us Apart, this journey cuts through the industrial noise to reveal the legacy of communities built on graft, ingenuity, and resilience.
