Quietland
"Output 1 might just see them reap the rewards that they definitely deserve for the music created here. Very nice" Powerplay Magazine
"Quietland´s real potential...distinctly in the footsteps of Blackfield..." - Andrew Latham (Room Thirteen)
"As a five piece, Quietland have all the ingredients needed to make some good tunes and they don´t disapoint here" - Allan Bannerman (PowerPlay Magazine, March 2008)
----
In 1997, a group of teenagers met, started writing together and found it
to be a good partnership. Good enough to still be going a decade later in fact.
Ten years on they´re still writing together, and bring the love, life experience,
maturity, and proficiency to their music that only time can bestow.
matt : writer, guitarist, lyricist & vocalist : smith of subsumed, frank words
gareth : writer, guitarist & producer : turning sound into cohesion that´s at
times warm, sometimes spiky
nick : pianist, arranger & inventor of sounds : carefully inventing and
reinventing within each refrain
louise : bassist, classically trained instrumentalist : bringing an underpinning
harmony, and attitude when needed
eddie : drummer, veteran session player : relatively new to the group at 18
months tenure, bringing the noise and plain speaking
So if you´re tiring of the present throw-away pop culture, put your feet up,
put your head phones on, turn the volume up, and join Quietland while
they trip through a spectrum of emotion. They bring you honesty, reflection
and guts contained within music influenced by artists as diverse as
Smashing Pumpkins, Nick Drake and Antony & The Johnsons.
