What People are Saying…

"Musically, it’s all over the place, radiating incredible skill and musicianship, and just might be the most interesting record of the year." (Warp Trio's Pandemic Disco Fantasy)

— Take Effect

"This is music that makes you stop what you're doing and stare at the speaker. Extravagant, elegant walls of strings? Check. Heavenly Piano? Check. Real live Bars of the Funkiest level? Check. Powerful Drummer? Check.

— Was ist Das (U.K.)

"Warp Trio is part of the new breed of classical musicians: diverse, musically omnivorous, and apparently mathematically challenged (there are four of them). “Welcome to the Pandemic Disco” is the new single from their album Warp Trio’s Pandemic Disco Fantasy, and in both the song and its delightfully campy video they balance big ideas with the desire of pent-up people to get out there and bust a move. But spare a moment to notice the serious fiddling going on as the song builds. "

— New Sounds (John Schaefer)

“Every chamber music program needs this kind of energy. While the beginning and ending compositions by Haydn and Brahms provided expected pleasures, it was the Warp Trio’s own jazz/tango/classical works that gave the concert a kick in the pants.”
— Cape Cod Times

“Unafraid of confrontation, unbothered by opposition, and unwilling to compromise the truth, the group's message was elegiac, prophetic, and a call-to-action… Beyond their excellent artistry, Warp Trio has an important message to bring to audiences.”

— Classical Voice North Carolina

“Warp Trio took the stage as a quartet and began Duke Ellington’s Black and Tan Fantasy. Josh Henderson’s bow biting the strings of his electric violin sounded like a Bartók sonata infused with the blues. It sneered and bared its teeth. It was abrasive, and after the angst, the blues caught the collar of the snarling beast and calmed it”

— Cleveland Classical

"Josh’s unique violin playing adjusted the emotions of the audience and you could feel Ju-Youngs strings in your bones. Mikael’s fingers ran wild across the keys of the grand piano and Rick’s hand drumming altered the heartbeats in our chests. I totally recommend seeing Warp Trio live for any true music lover"

— Radio Radio X

"The track mixes jazz with rock in a way we rarely heard before. And with the constant variations working as self-checks to the listener’s attention and introspection, the whole “well” attracts us in, both mentally, and physically. There is so much power in this, that we feel conflicted. At the same time, this is a track about self-introspection, but the whole sonority sounds on the verge of chaos, in the middle of an entire crowd. That’s its way of forcing us to intimately expose ourselves. An incredible track."

— Where the Music Meets

"Eclectic musicians Warp Trio & Likwuid team up with singer Mirah on the edgy, offbeat track titled ” Welcome to the Pandemic Disco.” Bolstered by a cinematic and engulfing production ripe with dreamy sound design and classical elements, the musician provides something refreshing and out of the box. From Likwuid’s fiery flows to the sublime melodic runs by the singer Mirah, listeners are taken into a whole different zone that breaks the walls of genre restrictions."

— The World is Bond

"From Beehive Candy's point of view this is a superb song and one that set's expectation for the album rightly high. The musicianship is both dramatic and skillfully delivered, the vocals demanding equal attention and the video adds another layer of thoughtfully crafted art. As for the rest of the collection, well let's just say if you like this piece, you will love the rest. "

— Beehive Candy

"There is such a heady density of sounds and flavors here that if you blink you might just miss something. Call them genre agnostic, or cosmic fusion or just call them Warp Trio."

— American Pancake

"The dramatic and orchestral arrangement helps to build the narrative and propel it forward, as guest vocalist Raina Sokolov-Gonzalez loans her striking and acrobatic voice for a captivating performance."

— Dusty Organ
