Strings for the Deaf: The String Quartet Tribute to Queens of the Stone Age

Vitamin String Quartet

Aggressive staccato rhythms and desert rock grit translated into the language of a string quartet. Tense, percussive, and surprisingly heavy chamber music.

A tense, percussive, and driving reimagining of desert rock that trades distortion for the visceral friction of strings.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cello mimicking the iconic low-end chug of the Millionaire intro with aggressive, percussive down-bowing.
The eerie, high-register violin harmonics during God Is in the Radio that capture the original's psychedelic dread.
The frantic, interlocking rhythms of No One Knows where the quartet manages to replicate the swing of the original drum fills.
