rcafilm Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 From Joyful Noise: Performed and recorded live by Kishi Bashi and his accompanying string ensemble, the new album (appropriately titled "String Quartet Live!") consists of nine songs from albums “151a” and “Lighght” (as well as a Talking Heads cover!). Where his first two releases featured an array of percussion and electronic elements, the new live album finds K’s familiar songs reimagined, allowing his soaring vocals to take center stage above a foundation of interweaving strings.The string ensemble gives new life to these tracks, with updated arrangements and the infectious energy that can only come from Kishi Bashi's amazing live performances."String Quartet Live!" is released November 13, 2015 on Vinyl, CD, and Digital - and is now available for Pre-Order!In addition to Blue and Black vinyl, we have a limited VIP Edition pressed on Cyan & Red split-color vinyl w/ Yellow splatter. This version includes a bonus flexi-disc containing a live cover of Beirut's "A Sunday Smile", and is limited to a one-time pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies. Plus, each copy is SIGNED by Kishi Bashi himself. Pre-order now. Will definitely be picking up a black copy of this! Blumplum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aych Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm not normally a sucker for weird color variants, but I am a sucker for Kishi Bashi, AND that VIP variant looks absolutely killer, especially with the artwork. I just have to decide whether it's worth it or not to sign up for the VIP thing just to buy it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
̮ ɤ ̮ Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I wish there were more songs on this. Not that it matters, as I will buy it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryantark Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Great package. Appears to be actual pencil marks on the sheet music. (I erased a little) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Null? Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 sweet! I had no idea this was coming with sheet music. My order is still showing as 'unfulfilled' though. For those of you who want the sheet music, Kishi has it up on his Bandcamp as pdf's: https://kishibashi.bandcamp.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hello Kibbe Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Great package. Appears to be actual pencil marks on the sheet music. (I erased a little) That's pretty cool, wonder if they're all like that with the VIP... I received "In Fantasia" and just assumed it was a copy. I'll have to check it when I get home. I also agree, great package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
