Quicksand - Slip (Vinyl)
Back in 1993, not many people knew about Quicksand (they still don't) even though the video for Dine Alone had heavy rotation on the metal segments of MTV. But in hindsight, Slip is one of the most influential albums in post-hardcore and rock music in general and one of the best of the 90's.
Quicksand doesn't rely on epics to make the music good. If they have something to say they say it and shut up. The band receives legitimate comparisons to Helmet probably because of their love for abrasion and a wall of sound and to Fugazi because of its rhythmic vocal style. But Quicksand's sound stands out as a fresh one.
Their transition from hardcore hasn't lost the over-the-top ferocity of their old sound. Instead, Quicksand took that ferocity and added a much slower tempo, creating a murky, grating sound that fuses guitar with a grinding beat. The brooding guitar sound is refracted through feedback, ear-ringing feedback and heavy harmonics.
Slip is an incredible record of poignant, bludgeoning music and most importantly is influential record in post-hardcore or 90's rock in general.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders).
