Kronos - Victory

Review by Geoff Kings

Kronos, the renowned string quartet, has released their latest album titled "Victory" and it is nothing short of a masterpiece. The album features eight tracks, each one showcasing the group's exceptional musicianship and unique style.

From the first track, "The Lost, The Vengeful," the listener is immediately drawn in by the haunting melody and intricate harmonies. The quartet's ability to seamlessly blend classical and contemporary influences is evident throughout the album, with tracks like "Tunisia" and "Sorrow Song" featuring Middle Eastern and African rhythms.

One standout track is "A Thousand Thoughts," which features a spoken-word performance by poet and activist Aja Monet. Her powerful words combined with the quartet's emotive playing creates a truly moving experience.
