There’s
probably nothing completely new on the horizon, as everyone’s already used to
electric strings. Still, these tow Croatian-Slovenian guys, 2Cellos, do know how to make a good
rock sound with a classical instrument.
Yes! Discover after uploading a video
to Youtube with their personal rearrangement of Michael Jackson’s Smooth Criminal (it’s featured also in Glee), they published their first album
about one year ago. There they play some classical pop-rock hits, like U2’s
With Or Without You or Colplay’s Viva LaVida. Not only! They even made a cover of Muse’s Resistance and a really really outstanding version of Smells Like Teen Spirit.
To my great
surprise I was immediately captured, as I had always thought that the
only one who could make justice to Nirvana’s masterpiece was my personal
goddess Patti Smith!
Well, I was wrong.
No Led Zeppelin songs in the album,
but I don’t miss them, as Escala and my beloved Bond already made their covers
of Kashmir. Instead, we have Guns’n’Roses, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Pulp
Fiction.
This energetic duo deserves at list
one listen, I think. Sometimes I even
find myself thinking they’re playing guitars instead of cellos. And somehow
they remind me of the electric violinist
Linzi Stoppard. God, she’s gorgeous!
2cellos’ new work, In2ition, is going to be released in
January 2013. Hope it’ll be as rock
as their debut album. But the first solo track seems to fulfill my expectations.
