Block Ice & Propane
by Erik Friedlander
MUSICAL SNAPSHOTS FROM AN AMERICAN ROAD TRIP
"A magnificent new solo album." - The New Yorker
"As tough-minded and original as it is elegiac." - Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix,
Friedlander’s haunting and passionate new album 'Block Ice & Propane' redefines what can be done with the cello. Inspired by American roots music and Friedlander's own history as a young guitar player, the album's thirteen tracks feature a kind of back porch pizzicato and rich evocative bowed landscapes--a new kind of cello music.
