FourPlay String Quartet - This Machine (2014)

Australia's favorite electric string quartet FourPlay have wowed audiences from New York's Carnegie Hall to London's Barbican Centre Epic with their soundscapes, Rock & Roll, chain sawing violas, Jazz, eastern influences & pop songs. 'This Machine' is their 2014 first album of all 100% original material. It's been a long journey since their 1996 debut & the band has certainly come of age. The four members (brothers Peter and Tim Hollo. Lara Goodridge & Shenzo Gregorio) have lived their lives together, played at some of the world's most famous venues and festivals, and spent countless hours writing and jamming together - all of which has created a rare synergy and an unspoken understanding in how they go about their work. FourPlay's sound and musicality has matured and evolved, resulting in a truly original album that cements their ever growing reputation as an eclectic and diverse musical tour de force. This album was recorded, co-produced & mixed by Tony Buchen (Andy Bull, Ronan Keating, John Butler Trio, Dereb the Ambassador) and features artwork by Dave McKean (Neil Gaiman, Heston Blumenthal, Richard Dawkins).
