“New York-based chamber quintet Sybarite5’s latest genre-bending album is irresistible”
“There’s not a dull moment on an album brimming with the quintet’s trademark energy and drive.”
“The wonderfully monikered fivesome has emerged over the last 15 years as one of America’s hippest new music ensembles thanks to a series of smart commissions and eclectic recordings such as 2017’s uber-groovy Outliers. Their latest album showcases a host of new music for string quintet – in their case, a string quartet plus double bass – and proves that they’re just as good live.”
“While each piece is executed with precision, the music’s visceral punch calls to mind the excitement of a sweaty rock concert more than the refined formality of a chamber classical set”
“[Sybarite5] knew in order to continue and to be able to grow they would need to do what yMusic did, approach composers they knew to compose music for them”
