QUILT "Children Of Light" by lizpelly

One new song is "Children of Light" (mp3 above), a three-and-a-half minute track of 60s-inspired three-part harmonies, alternating between high and low pitches over deep, ringing, Eastern guitar riffs and the fast shaking of a tambourine. ("We got that earthly drone, and yes we like that Bossa Nova, we'll learn to forget the past, but we'll still remember something.") It all plays with light/dark, high/low, major/minor, past/present, eventually psyching-out into a hypnotizing drone.

Another new one is "Silver Stairs of Ketchikan," a minimal, slow-moving track of twanging guitars, deep, bouncing drum beats and repetitive cymbal taps. Jenn was particularly spot on in her last Quilt review when she wrote: "At a moment when so much underground psych is focused on synthesizers and electronic vibes, Quilt’s organic, vocal-heavy psych-rock is uplifting." The tape ends with an instrumental of "Penobska."

The cassingle was recorded with Jesse Gallagher in Cambridge in 2010 and pressed in a run of 300. Get one for six bux via Burger Records webstore.
