String Quartet Cover of the Pixies



Alright, so, brought to my attention by the Kinect advert currently doing the rounds. But it's the timing that does it for me above all in this song. The brief intake of 'breath' right after the first chorus (caesura), and the translation of Kim's faint vocals into a literal instrument only stress how the Pixies schooled the rest of us in songwriting from day one. The quiet-loud dynamic in its ultimate form.
