From a secluded basement in Brooklyn, an assemblage of folk singers,punk rock kids and classical musicians come together under the collective name of Cricket Spin. Fueled by a mixture of red wine and brightly colored sweets, the group creates lush arrangements, adorned with orchestral swells and thoughtful melodies. Each song is built upon humble and intimate folk structures. Cricket Spin's live performances consist of six to ten players weaving rock guitars, piano and woodwinds to create a symphony of bipolar pop music.
