Watch Kristin Kontrol Perform “Smoke Rings” With String Ensemble

Kristin Kontrol -- the pop-leaning project of Kristin Welchez, aka Dee Dee from Dum Dum Girls -- released her debut album earlier this year, and today she's sharing an orchestral version of "Smoke Rings," the closing track from it.

Watch and listen below.
