quilt - s/t lp (mexican summer)

QUILT are a psychedelic folk band from BOSTON.... they've just released their debut album on MEXICAN SUMMER earlier this month and i can't get enough of it...

...totally entrancing mantra like melodies and extended hallucinogenic folk strumming that takes you almost out of this world......

it reminds me of the quieter songs of KURT VILE or the psych pop back porch jamming of WOODS....... but probably more to the point, QUILT channel PENTANGLE, THE INCREDIBLE STRING BAND, CLEAR LIGHT and IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY as well as that whole hippie west coast folk pop scene of the acid fried 60s........

QUILT isn't what you'd usually hear me listening to, but it's some well crafted indie rock that happens to take more from the GRATEFUL DEAD than JESUS AND MARY CHAIN and there is not a thing wrong with that...... there are already plenty of bands with all the same influences....

and it's refreshing to hear QUILT's psych folk pop so well executed and recorded, fans of psych music like me will definitely enjoy their new lp........

so click here to sample their new lp on MEXICAN SUMMER records...... and listen to the whole record below......
