Check Out Cambridge’s Clean Bandit

Jan 24th, 2013 in Music

Chillo? String hop? String rap? Analog-electro?  Clean Bandit is a new Brit-collective that somewhat defies categorization.  They work with a variety of vocalist cameos (frequently Nicole Marshall) to create a culture clash of strings, bass and beats.  The Cambridge collective – Jack Patterson (bass/sax/deck), Luke Patterson (drums), Grace Chatto and Neil Amin-Smith (both on strings) – fuses classical, electronica and hip-hop beats.  We ran across them performing a cover of Labrinth’s Earthquake for BBC Radio 1 below, and have been mesmerized since.  This little aural earthquake might rock your world a bit.  After, check out their official videos for single A&E, Nightingale and the older Shanty.
