2 Foot Yard shatters the boundaries between art song & pop song by merging the visceral power of rock with the intimacy & warmth of chamber music. Violin, cello, voice, & drums combine to create a cacophony of harmonic (im)balance culled from an astonishing array of musical influences, from acoustic punk to the twang of old country love ballads. This trio features Tzadik recording artist Carla Kihlstedt (Tin Hat Trio, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum) on violin & vocals, Marika Hughes (Charming Hostess, Vienna Teng) on cello & vocals, & Shahzad Ismaily (Marc Ribot) on percussion & guitar, & guarantees an off-kilter ride through the worlds of drama & melody. Combining the harmonic breadth of contemporary classical music & the spontaneity of improvisation, their diverse musical backgrounds come together in one cohesive & unique voice as 2 Foot Yard performs genre-breaking instrumentals & vocal miniatures.
