Laura Weinbach smashes out of her music box with a guitar as big as her torso.
She’s dressed like snow white’s sister.
She sings spritely vocals, shouts the lyrics with beer-hall cheer.
She sings a sweepy, breezy, syrupy lullaby while she hides a shiv behind her skirt.
Jen Grady works the cello like it’s a DaVinci flying machine.
The effort turns to beauty through the magic of mathematics.
Anton Patzner picks a percussive violin. There are staccato vocals. There is melodic singing over harmonic cello and violin and it all melts like a contraption made of wax. The songs are rigid then they melt. There is metal framework and then there is a cloth sail.
“This is about a doll that comes to life. And it’s very romantic. So listen up.” Says Laura.
Her childhood is “Steak and Cookies.” The music is all of that at once.
It is buttery and sweet, and it is also meaty, flecked with iron.
