Band to Watch: Quilt
In order to appease my current Real Estate addiction, I have been on a steady mission to discover more ringing, melodic guitar riffs. As a result, I have pulled back the covers to find Boston’s Quilt. Their debut, self-titled LP was released on the Mexican Summer label and is slowly becoming one of the under the radar releases of 2011 that I am digging. Consistent melody is not only present in the 6-string play but is also featured in the vocals. Shane Butler and Anna Rochinski do a fantastic job of not only coexisting, but also succeeding with their trippy harmonies. Their voices team well and the delivery is effective, yet deceptively simple. A psych-folk touchdown. Join me in getting cozy with Quilt. Listen to “Cowboys in the Void” below:

Video: We Need Surgery “Time to Unwind”
We Need Surgery is a five-piece band that formed in Seoul, South Korea before recording the bulk of their forthcoming debut LP with Vancouver’s Light Organ Records. Their brand of danceable indie rock has a tinge of disco without any of the requisite cheese. Below is the unofficial video that friends of the band put together for their single “Time to Unwind” featuring skateboarder Dann Gaymer in the role of Tony the Tiger on acid. The globetrotters currently call Tokyo their home and are preparing to tour in promotion of their album which is due out in early spring.
