Please note new street date for LP is October 29 / September 24 for CD. "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 its predecessor, 1995's "Manic Compression". Critically lauded and deemed very much worth the wait, "Interiors" succeeded in reestablishing the band as the powerful and contemporary entity they had always been. "Distant Populations" has a punchier, more up-tempo sound than its predecessor; its 11 songs are concise, carved sonic jewels boasting not a single wasted note; and its raw power, its gripping lyricism, leaps out from the very first listening. It is a striking step up for the band. Following the release of "Interiors", the band successfully toured around the world and in the process fully re-established their chemistry together. Looking forward to making the next album, the three of them had methodically recorded various soundchecks, improvisations, and show rehearsals, and compiled the results. "Eventually, when it came time to make a record", guitarist Walter Schreifels says, "we would just edit down to the ones that were most exciting to us all, and then refocus on them and see if we could recapture the magic from it".
