Gretta Cohn moved out to Omaha NE in mid 2001 with two suitcases and a cat. A member of Cursive from early 2001-2005, she also spent time in the studio and on the road with friends and labelmates, including Bright Eyes, The Faint, Rilo Kiley and Thursday. Her work can be heard on many a Saddle Creek release. A review on Exoduster.com of Cursive's 2003 album, The Ugly Organ, proclaimed, "the songs are uniquely characterized by Cohn's thundering cello lines and rhythms...As if ripping out the guts of an album, Cohn does not joke around with pretty string chords, but goes after the music as if possessed by the essence of Slayer."
Gretta and Cursive parted ways in August 2005, and she is currently living in Brooklyn, at work on a number of new projects and collaborations, including Twin Thousands , with whom she is finishing up a new record!
She can also be found here and there with Camphor.
