What we say
 This record left our Phil feeling happy.
Yes here's a CD on Polish label Foreshadow by Canadian pre/past/post/future shoegazers Thisquietarmy which is the one man band of Eric Quach. Though guest stars on the album include Aidan Baker from Nadja (always brings a chuckle) playing some guitar shaped thing and Meryem Yildiz utilizing their throat and vocal chords. The album over it's 8 tracks encompasses drone music, ambience, shoegazing to indie rock.... At times it can sound like lush walls of ambient drones building with some electronics here and there to sounding a bit like Curve or something in the next track. All I can think of now is the Chuckle Brothers which has nothing to do with this at all. I should have used the word chuckle before... damned.... well worth checking out anyway.
What the label says:
THISQUIETARMY is a solo project from a young talented Canada-based artist Eric Quach. He is also known
for being a guitarist in a renowned shoe-gaze band DESTROYALLDREAMERS. As THISQUIETARMY, he
explores never-ending spectrum of guitar ambience and loop drone sounds. From the mellow opening of
“Immobilization”, through grandiose “Battlefield Arkestrah” and “The Sun Destroyers”, gloomy “Death of a
Sailor”, to closing notes of “Empire”, Eric Quach manages to capture the essence of contemporary alternative
guitar experimentation while maintaining disturbing but also captivating aural atmosphere. “Unconquered”
presents this musical project as consciously standing among the best artists of this genre, which is symbolized
by the guest appearance of Aidan Baker. On the other hand, THISQUIETARMY, already on his debut album,
looks far into the future and crosses the boundaries, the best sign of which are the clean female vocals of
Meryem Yildiz in one of the tracks – something not common in the field of ambient drone guitar music. Eric’s
experience in DESTROYALLDREAMERS, numerous live performances, brave open mind and genuine artistic
freedom allowed him to deliver his first official debut full-length album in a flawless and extraordinary way. |
