Carolina Chocolate Drops/Luminescent Orchestrii is a collaborative EP by Durham, North Carolina-based string band Carolina Chocolate Drops and experimental music band Luminescent Orchestrii. It was released on January 25, 2011 on Nonesuch Records.
Robert Christgau gave the EP an A grade and wrote that "All four songs are quick, sexy, and a trifle nasty." AllMusic's Steve Leggett gave the EP 3.5 out of 5 stars, and described it as "hardly some Frankenstein creation, but instead a fluid, energetic, and yes, even traditional-sounding set of gems that proves one can pull two different directions together into one without losing the strengths and passion of either."
