The band has dates on hold for the fall, notes Schreifels, and fingers are crossed Quicksand will be out there performing very soon. Not a single one of these songs has ever been played Practically speaking, that's precisely whom Quicksand recorded it for: Listeners very far away. There may be a final irony in the title of Distant Populations. 'Eventually, when it came time to make a record,' Schreifels says, 'we would just edit down to the ones that were most exciting to us all, and then refocus on them and see if we could recapture the magic from it.' The next album, the three of them-frontman/ guitarist Walter Schreifels, bassist Sergio Vega, and drummer Alan Cage-had methodically recorded various soundchecks, improvisations, and show rehearsals, and compiled the results. One of the most remarkable aspects of Distant PopulationsQuicksandвЂ™s first album since 2017вЂ™s Interiorsis how timely and prescient the themes running throughout its songs sound at this very moment. The songwriting itself had been no minor process: Following the release of Interiors, the band successfully toured around the world and in the process fully re-established their chemistry together.
