Fifths of Seven was a Canadian instrumental ensemble that blended classical composition with contemporary production sensibilities. The Montreal-based trio—featuring Spencer Krug, Beckie Foon, and Rachel Levine—crafted intricate arrangements that wove together strings, piano, and accordion into a distinctive sonic palette that drew from pop, classical, and Eastern European influences.
The group's instrumental approach offered a refreshing alternative to vocal-driven electronic music, demonstrating how traditional acoustic instruments could create compelling, genre-defying soundscapes. Their work exemplified the Canadian experimental music scene's commitment to cross-genre exploration and innovative instrumentation.
