String Quartet Tribute to Snow Patrol focuses on material from the Scottish combo's hit 2004 album
Final Straw, including "How to Be Dead," "Wow," and "Spitting Games," and "Tiny Little Fractures." The arrangements include violin, cello, viola, and mandolin, as well as hand percussion. The fragile melody of "How to Be Dead" is a standout, as are "On/Off" and "Batten Down the Hatch," two selections culled from
Snow Patrol's 2001 album When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up. ~ Johnny Loftus
