Quilt – ST (Mexican Summer) out TODAY

DONOVANSHARP — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 17:02:43 +0000

Quilt – Young Gold by Mexican SummerQuilt’s new album is out TODAY on Mexican Summer…You should buy it because its really good. Good to see some recognition of Boston bands outside of Boston!!

Here’s what the summer of mexicans say ..”Boston’s Quilt come together with psych-folk magic on their self-titled debut album, Nov 8th. Members Anna, Shane, and John create a world of guitar drifts, while keys sparkle in and out, as they follow their own threads into the stratoshere, and the vocals are at once powerful and intimate. These close friends have come together amid a whirlwind of life changes and find comfort and inspiration by singing personal moments” together in beautiful mutual assurance.
