Bound

Released 30th April, 2018

First single from a new batch of material, a big rock song with a crazed viola solo and lyrics by Lara which remind us that our decisions have repercussions, and that ultimately we’re all bound together.
As a bonus for fans of FourPlay’s electronic side, the single includes three archival remixes from the band’s Now To The Future album, unreleased to this day: ‘Evolve or Decay (Monk Fly remix)’ by Chris Hancock (from 2011), ‘The Hunter (The Quickening – Comatone remix)’ by Greg Seiler (from 2008), and ‘Trust (one wrong 2-step remix)’ by raven (from 2005, revisited in 2014), the solo project from FourPlay’s own cellist Peter Hollo.

This Machine

Cat# SP006 | Released 10th Oct, 2014

FourPlay began their life playing mostly covers. This Machine is our first album of 100% original material, and arguably their finest, most intriguing long-player to date.
What’s in store? Epic soundscapes, rock ‘n’ roll, chainsawing violas, jazz, eastern influences, pop songs.

Released by FourPlay String Quartet / Smart Pussy Records. Distributed in Australia by MGM.
