Strung Out on Kid A: The String Quartet Tribute to Radiohead

Vitamin String Quartet

A track-for-track translation of Radiohead's electronic opus into the language of wood and horsehair. Tense, cerebral, and surprisingly intimate.

A cerebral and chilly translation of electronic anxiety into organic, wooden resonance.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic pizzicato on Idioteque that perfectly captures the anxiety of the original drum machine
The way the cello takes over the iconic bassline of The National Anthem with a woody, aggressive growl
The transition into the shimmering, held notes of Treefingers that feels like a physical weight lifting
