CULTS

CULTS puts the music of Sufjan Stevens, Kate Bush, and others through the rinse cycle of Nonsemble’s indie-classical post-minimalist sensibilities. The result is a nuanced set of beautifully captured arrangements in which string quartet and piano playfully throw around familiar melodies and new mutations on a backdrop of bass and drums, shedding new light on some old cult classics.
