It's not often you find a band that includes all sections of a classical orchestra, but New Zealand alt-folk band Farah Loux (formerly known as Alaska) have it covered with just six members. Using a range of unconventional instruments (including harp and Peruvian clarinet) they write and execute unique arrangements that add honesty to their songs and emotional clarity to their lyrics. With influence ranging from Arcade Fire and Radiohead to Chopin, the creative sound that Farah Loux brings is "atmospherically gorgeous and utterly sincere" (Metro Magazine).
