Song:Arctic Shark
Album:Held in Splendor
Quilt is an indie band that is heavily influenced by 60s psychedelic rock. There are also elements of folk rock and dream pop. But I would classify them as neo-psychedelic. Quilt are from Boston. Lead singer Anna Fox Rochinski is the daughter of jazz guitarist Steve Rochinski. He is been on the faculty of Berklee School of Music since 1985. Before that he was a sideman for Tal Farlow among others. He taught her to play guitar. She was still in high school when she met Shane Butler and Taylor McVay who performed in clubs as The Good Party. They started working together while all were attending the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. Then they started performing in local clubs. Anna says the name Quilt popped into her head one day. They recorded a demo followed by a 2010 EP. After graduation, McVay left and was replaced by John Andrews. They recorded with Jesse Gallagher of Apollo Sunshine producing. The 2011 single Cowboys in the Void got them a deal with the indie label Mexican Summer. The 2011 CD Quilt was reviewed favorably. They toured to support it. After splitting an EP with the group MMOSS, Quilt returned to the studio this time with Jarvis Taveniere of Woods. Arctic Shark was the first single from the 2014 album Held in Splendor. They again toured to support it. Bassist Keven Lareau was added to the band. He is Anna's boyfriend. This album is available as a budget CD. To promote the 2016 CD Plaza, Quilt made their TV debut on Last Call with Carson Daly. I recommend Quilt to fans of neo-psychedelic music. Quilt toured Europe earlier this year but they don't seem to be on tour right now. They may be working on a new album. Here's the video for Arctic Shark by Quilt.
