THE HUFFINGTON POST — Meet Charly and Margaux, also known as Chargaux. They play violin and viola, respectively, but not the kind you tuned out at your high school orchestra concert. The two Brooklyn-based artists rework the traditionally classical instruments’ vibes, releasing bubbling, boiling liquid sounds, somewhere between the brashness of jazz and the mellowness of R&B.The musicians met by chance three years ago and have been playing together ever since. Their EP “Broke and Baroque” comes out next week — you can hear their single “I’m So Pretty” here — but they’ve already captured the attention of New York’s art and fashion set with their infectious and unexpected covers of songs like Beyonce’s “Partition” and Kanye’s “Flashing Lights,” which they played at last week’s Opening Ceremony fashion show. Oh yes, they also did the “cute little solo” at the end of Kendrick Lamar’s “Bitch Don’t Kill My Vibe.” The fact that the ladies have flawless style themselves certainly doesn’t hurt.
