The youthful quintet melds the familiar and the avant-garde with a unique and provocative palette of tone and texture. The Eugene Weekly described their sound as lying "somewhere along the spectrum of acoustic-improvisational-gypsy-jazz . . . plucky and tight à la David Grisman" with "a dash of Eastern European exoticism that puts you in a smoky, understated hash bar kind of mood." This is street-corner swing and bluegrass with foot-stomping danceability, intertwined with playful forays into the depths of sophisticated musical experimentation. No wonder they were recently chosen Band of the Month on premier jam website GratefulWeb.net, as well as winning Hightimes Magazine's Unsigned Band of the Month poll last June! Absynth Quintet's most recent CD is Indigo Shows. Visit Absynth Quintet's website Listen to a track from Absynth Quintet:
