The ATTACCA QUARTET share the title track and video "Real Life" from their upcoming genre-defying debut album on Sony Classical. Their re-working of the Louis Cole original is a radical orchestral meets four-on-the-floor thunder stomp. Of the track, Attacca Quartet says: "Who doesn't love a little Louis Cole?! His music is zesty, humorous, and extremely satisfying. His song ‘Real Life' encapsulates the wild and carefree feelings that we enjoyed so much while making this album."

For their forthcoming Sony Classical debut, the multi-genre, Grammy Award-winning string ensemble embody their redefinition of what a string quartet can be. Real Life, a vibrant album that transcends musical boundaries, is out July 9th and available now for preorder. Attacca Quartet's momentum will continue well into 2021, lining up a second album later this year featuring music by Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt as well as several Renaissance composers.

    Grammy award-winning Attacca Quartet, as described by The Nation, "lives in the present aesthetically, without rejecting the virtues of the musical past", and it is this dexterity to glide between the music of the 18th through to 21st century living composer's repertoire that has placed them as one of the most versatile and outstanding ensembles of the moment – a quartet for modern times. Touring exten...

    Posted At: July 11, 2021 12:00 AM

    Sequenza 21 writes.....Kronos Quartet excepted, there have been a lot of really bad arrangements of pop music for string quartet. Part of the problem is that the arrangers of these covers attempt to translate a medium that involves amplification, electronics, and a flexible sense of rhythm into straight notation for acoustic ensemble. Attacca Quartet's Real Life, on the other hand, sees the opportunity f...
