{"product_id":"quicksand-distant-populations","title":"Quicksand 'Distant Populations'","description":"\u003cp\u003eQuicksand returned with \u003cem\u003eDistant Populations\u003c\/em\u003e in 2021, delivering one of the most focused and immediate records of their career. Following the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eInteriors\u003c\/em\u003e, the album pushes the band toward a leaner, more urgent sound built from tightly wound rhythms, massive guitar tones, and the unmistakable interplay between Walter Schreifels, Sergio Vega, and Alan Cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross eleven songs, \u003cem\u003eDistant Populations\u003c\/em\u003e feels both unmistakably Quicksand and distinctly modern. The record moves with more speed and economy than its predecessor, balancing the band’s post-hardcore weight with sharp hooks, atmospheric detail, and the kind of tension that has defined their best work since \u003cem\u003eSlip\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eManic Compression\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch of the material grew out of soundchecks, rehearsals, and improvisations recorded while Quicksand toured behind \u003cem\u003eInteriors\u003c\/em\u003e. Those fragments were later revisited and shaped into songs, preserving the chemistry and spontaneity of the band playing together while refining each idea down to its strongest form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Will Yip and mixed by Josh Wilbur, \u003cem\u003eDistant Populations\u003c\/em\u003e captures Quicksand as a fully active band rather than a nostalgia act: forceful, inventive, and still finding new ground decades into their career.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable on vinyl from Iodine Recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Distro","offers":[{"title":"Black Vinyl","offer_id":47785678831787,"sku":"EPI7726-1","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/1642\/3595\/files\/Quicksand-Distant-Cover.jpg?v=1789135314","url":"https:\/\/iodinerecords.com\/products\/quicksand-distant-populations","provider":"Iodine Recordings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
