A Band Called Quinn
Barfly April 1st
What’s that you say? A support act credited with its own review? Well, yes, you’d be right; but this is no ordinary support act. Lickmag favourites ‘…Quinn’ return with a flavour of new album Sun Moon Stars and a sublime live show to boot.
Breezing into action like the greatest summer band you’ll ever hear it was with seemingly little effort that they won over the usually oblivious start-of-the-night Barfly crowd. Hook after hook followed, creating an almost dreamlike state of musical reverie. The flexible groove of Unsung Feeling was a particularly great moment, creating a Stereolab-esque air of superb euro-tinged pop.
Quinn mix the ability to conjure the classic three-minute song with touches of jazz and electronic synth stabs making for a sound both instantly recognisable yet unique. An eclectic outlook on music is always appreciated in this humble reviewer’s opinion and A Band Called Quinn has it in bundles. An upcoming collaboration with French DJ, remixer and producer Kid Loco is surely a point of distinction. Couple this with the truly remarkable new album and it goes a long way to making this band something to look out for in the coming months.
Summer 2007? Can’t wait.
