NPR Shares Mary Halvorson’s “Belladonna”

“Given the way she swoops and pecks at her electric guitar, a craft honed over two decades,” NPR writes about Mary Halvorson, “her first foray into string quartet composition, Belladonna, comes with a similarly determined and dramatic precision…[on the album’s title track,] it’s the way that Halvorson’s guitar hides in plain sight that excites, as she speedily tremolo picks alongside the Mivos Quartet‘s pizzicato strings or playfully echoes the cello’s furtively struck notes.” Listen to the song here, and get Belladonna and its companion album Amaryllis onto your airwaves now.
