Quilt

Quilt‘s new album, Plaza, is one of my favorites of 2016 so far. (It and Field Music’s Commontime are tied for #1.) Ten songs, not a bad one in the bunch, that are absolutely jam-packed with memorable melodies, clever arrangements, ace performances, swoony strings and harmonies, and great little touches you might not notice till the fifth or sixth listen through. They are really at the top of their game here. It’s out next week but you can check out the whole thing over at NPR and it comes with a track-by-track analysis by the band. For a record that sounds so effortless, it’s a fascinating read on how some of these songs came to be. Quilt also have a video for single “Roller” and you can watch that below.

You can catch Quilt on tour soon, including a Brooklyn record release show at Baby’s All Right on March 2 with Lionlimb opening. Tickets are still available.

They’ve added UK/European dates after their North American tour wraps up. All are listed below.
