Album Review

The four women of New York and Berlin-based string quartet Osso are no strangers to the indie rock scene. As the meat and potatoes for singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Shara Worden's opera/cabaret/chamber music/rock outfit My Brightest Diamond, they honed both their classical and pop music skills with quiet ferocity, collaborating outside of that project with everyone from Jay-Z and the New Pornographers to Alice and Ravi Coltrane and Kanye West. Somewhere in the eye of that musical tornado they found themselves in the capable hands of indie pop spokesman Sufjan Stevens, providing strings for both studio and stage, so it comes as no surprise that the quartet's first "official" release is a chamber music rendering of Enjoy Your Rabbit, Stevens' 2001 electronic, all-"instrumental" collection of songs based on the symbols of the Chinese zodiac. The resulting Run Rabbit Run dutifully re-creates its creator's hypnotic, quirky, and oddly sweet song cycle, and peppers it with enough dissonant bow slides and odd harmonics to please the avant-garde crowd while keeping the twee melodies intact for the casual indie pop fan.

Customer Reviews

Holy crap this is awesome

Stevens is probably one of the the best musicians of this generation and if you don't buy this album and commit it to memory i'll punch you... with kisses.

but yeah seriously...it's amazing

For Sufjan fans...

If you found the original Enjoy Your Rabbit to be a little too grating or ambient to appreciate the composition, you'll find a lot to like in this elegantly arranged and performed rendition of the album.

If you don't know Sufjan Stevens, I'd suggest starting off with an album in which he was more directly involved (such as Illinois or Seven Swans). Or even picking up the iTunes essentials.

Hesitation

I hesitated to buy this album, as I didn't think an indie-classical album was really up my alley.
I now laugh at that hesitation as I laugh at the people of the past.
If only they knew what was coming, maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't be so stupid and primitive.
But then I realize that, no. They would be.
