Loopholes by Jenuine Cello
'Loopholes' is the first full length studio album by cellist/singer/songwriter Jenuine Cello (Jen Mulhern). Equipped with a cello and a voice, a 6-string NS electric cello, and a knack for glitchy beat-boxing, she explores the boundaries of genre-bending loop-based songwriting. 'Loopholes' captures the live energy of the one-woman cello army with a collection of tracks born out of live performances and developed to their full potential in the studio with the oversight of co-producer/engineer Adrian Benavides of Bilderberg Music in Austin, TX. Additional drums by Craig MacIntyre (Goo Goo Dolls).
