the booklet actually says they're real cello and varied strings.
I had assumed they were synths but no
good for them

yep. My guess is that some bits the "real strings" recorded are also used as samples in some songs. I think. Not sure. It's been a while since my last brh listening session

Albert Ayler's "Live At Slug's Salloon" - the violin work on there is pretty damn nifty.

You don't have to feel sorry for me. All it means is that I got to see them back before they turned into a sweetly saccharine symphonic shadow of their former selves. Age has its benefits on occasion. Nice that they're successful and everything, but I do not like the path they've been on for some time.

I'm never usually a fan of strings, but this album pulled them off in a raucous and screeching manner while still managing to hold a tune. Well done, Nate Walcott.

Oh hell yeah. I made sure that "Submarine #3" was the first song on the mix that played at my wedding reception.

You know the ancient Greeks had an atom theory. Went something like...

Guy 1: Hey, what if you cut a loaf of bread so many times that you couldn't cut it anymore and these little unsliceable bits made up everything?
Guy 2: Okay. What would that imply?
Guy 1: I don't know.
Guy 2: I think I like Aristotle's earth, wind, fire, and water elements better.
Guy 1: Yeah, me too.
