More Info:
Take a crafty pop music guitarist who knows how to come up with hooks and have them team up with a trained avant garde classical musician and you get the Velvet Underground. Move that same combo from the Lower East Side across the river to northwest Brooklyn, tack on 40 years, and you get Christy & Emily. "Gueen's Head" is an octet of pieces that explore modern classical techniques grafted with pop songs. This alchemy produces a string of highly catchy ascetic tunes combined with undercurrents of discordance and dissonance. Add to this lyrics that take from the history of pop and modernist mid-20th Century poetry.
