about

The third full-length from Quiet Countries moves gracefully between synthpop jams like Go To Bed and Almost Obscene, into the almost post-punk textures and electronic flourishes of songs like Lucky Boy and Impressed to the contemplative and orchestrated ballad, A War Waltz. This mash-up of styles is unified by the impressive songwriting, shambling beats and intoxicating melodies that are QC trademarks.
“A richly textured, impressively diverse recording that's full of color, mood, and style.” - The Portland Mercury
