PITCHFORK: Jasper String Quartet "Valencia"
By Seth Colter Walls
"In recent years, the composer, vocalist, and violinist Caroline Shaw’s work has been widely celebrated: She won a Pulitzer Prize for her Partita for 8 Voices in 2013 and then, three years later, picked up multiple credits on Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo. The pop collaborations reflected a central strength in her work; even when Shaw’s music teems with sonic activity, the individual parts sound like they’re involved in an intimate conversation."
