grandchildren the orchestral pop band

Grandchildren is an orchestral pop band from Philadelphia. Originating as a recording project that fused folk songs with sampled beats, the band evolved into a small orchestra known for its high energy live performances featuring multi-instrumentalist swapping. Grandchildren released their debut album Everlasting in 2010 and have since toured with Man Man, Seabear, and O'Death. 'Saturn Returns' the above video, is one of their songs, and I think it is terrific. Will certainly be getting a hold of their most recent material, they are becoming a class act with their fantastic live performances.

No just kidding, my name is really Simone. Music quite interesting but the runnng around in nature? Not sure about that.

I would have to agree with the previous poster: the video does very little for me, but I certainly appreciate the orchestral dimension. I also detect African and Celtic influences in there as well. You have certainly wet my appetite for more of this band. I can imagine from the sound even in this one video that they would certainly be well worth seeing live. Another interesting, surprisingly eclectic choice. Thank so much.
