quiet village

I was going to attempt to write about Quiet Village's mesmerizing new LP, Silent Movie, but I decided that the above image from the duo's myspace page sums up their exotic collage aesthetic better than words. I will say that the LP, which is built upon a foundation of seemingly random but perfectly inspired sources (from Moroder and Alan Parsons to Captain & Tennille and bizarre laugh tracks), plays out like a blissful and surreal waking dream.

Quiet Village :: Free Rider

Silent Movie is out in April in some places, and this summer in others. Philip Sherburne speaks far more eloquently on the album here.
