It likely seems a minor thing, but most of the tracks on Sybarite5's 2012 album Everything in Its Right Place clock in within a few seconds of the corresponding Radiohead versions.

The string quintet - which will have three public performances as part of its Quad City Arts Visiting Artist residency from November 4 though 10 - is by no means the first classically trained ensemble to tackle the songs of Thom Yorke and company. But it's certainly the most faithful, and the song lengths are actually telling.

The eight arrangements by Paul Sanho Kim (on the 10-track album) are striking in matching each song nearly moment-for-moment and part-by-part. This includes lush, thick, slow pieces such as "Everything in Its Right Place" and "Pyramid Song" but also explosive rockers such as "Paranoid Android" and "2+2=5." Crucially, neither the arrangements nor the performances castrate the songs, retaining their dynamic range and energy without drums, electric guitars, or amplification.
