Radio LBB: The Joy of Strings

At KOM, we’re suckers for a good string arrangement. Strings can completely transform a song, adding layers of emotion and dynamics. Whether it’s beauty, longing, scale, drama, or edge, a well-deployed string arrangement can elevate a track to greatness. With that in mind, we’ve put together a selection of songs that feature some of our favourite uses of strings. From classics by artists like Scott Walker, Serge Gainsbourg, and Minnie Riperton to more contemporary arrangements and treatments by the likes of Oliver Coates and Floating Points, dive into this playlist and celebrate the joy of strings.
