Quicksand will be releasing a new album, titled “Distant Populations,” on August 13 (vinyl out September 24). The effort's latest single, “Missile Command,” can be found below:
Walter Schreifels said the following about the new song:
“It really kind of focuses on Sergio’s [Vega] whole motif in a very simple way. He and Alan [Cage] just have this really kind of trademark groove, and I think that really sings on this one to me. I just felt like it’s a kind of song that is very us, but we hadn’t written it yet.”
He also commented on the new album:
“Everyone is on the one hand so connected with each other, and on the other hand, is so far apart. We’re checking out each other’s social media and we know what everybody’s doing. But when we’re sitting in the same room together, we’re looking at our phones.”
