Quicksand 8211 Distant Populations LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 2021 release. Distant Populations, just the fourth full-length album of Quicksand\’s career, comes as a comparatively swift follow-up to Interiors-which itself came a full 22 years after it\’s predecessor, 1995\’s Manic Compression. Distant Populations has a punchier, more up-tempo sound than it\’s predecessor; it\’s 11 songs are concise, carved sonic jewels boasting not a single wasted note; and it\’s raw power, it\’s gripping lyricism, leaps out from the very first listening. It is a striking step up for the band.
