Distant Populations, just the fourth full-length album of Quicksand�s career, comes as a comparatively swift follow-up to Interiors--which itself came a full 22 years after its predecessor, 1995�s Manic Compression. Critically lauded and deemed very much worth the wait, Interiors succeeded in reestablishing the band as the powerful and contemporary entity they had always been.

Distant Populations has a punchier, more up-tempo sound than its predecessor; its 11 songs are concise, carved sonic jewels boasting not a single wasted note; and its raw power, its gripping lyricism, leaps out from the very first listening. It is a striking step up for the band.

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. Looking forward to making 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. �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.��

There may be a final irony in the title of Distant Populations. Practically speaking, that�s precisely whom Quicksand�recorded it for: Listeners very far away. Not a single one of these songs has ever been played live onstage. The band has dates on hold for the fall, notes Schreifels, and fingers are crossed Quicksand�will be out there performing very soon. They will likely be the most memorable shows of the band�s career.�

The time is now for Caroline Rose. Their last record, Superstar, was released on March 6, 2020. The record was critically acclaimed and positioned Rose as the next big breakthrough in music. Needless to say, the resulting pandemic grinded all momentum to a halt while at the same time throwing Rose�s personal life into turmoil. The result of that turmoil is the fuel that fired the creation of their latest album, The Art of Forgetting. With The Art of Forgetting, Rose took on the dual role of writer and producer. The album encapsulates the feeling of experiencing recent memories, having them turn into old ones and then ultimately forgetting those memories altogether. There is a romantic nature within the sonic landscape of this record. Tape effects and loops emulate the feeling of aging while the juxtaposition of modern acoustic-electronic textures, like lo-fi tape next to hi-fi granular synths result in some of their most mature and honest work to date.

Fall Out Boy's new album, �So Much (For) Stardust�

If credibility were currency, FAKE NAMES� wealth would be off the�charts. Composed of Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Bad Religion, Dag Nasty), Michael Hampton (S.O.A., Embrace), Dennis Lyxz�n (Refused, INVSN,�The [International] Noise Conspiracy), Johnny Temple (Girls Against�Boys, Soulside) and the newest member Brendan Canty (Fugazi, Rites of�Spring), the band is a veritable post-hardcore dream team.

However instead of rehashing the past, Expendables is a reinvention�that sees the band dialing back the distortion and leaning into the�melodies. The result pairs their unparalleled pedigree with a pop�sensibility that�s slightly unexpected and wholly satisfying. �For our
last record [2019�s FAKE NAMES]the general influences were 70�s U.K.�punk and power-pop; but it wound up with a little classic rock vibe as�well, like the Vibrators meets Aerosmith. We never saw that coming!� ,�Baker explains.

For Expendables the band enlisted producer Adam �Atom� Greenspan (IDLES, Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Baker explains, �The pop influences are a�little more out front on this one and the production really helps it shine. It sounds more direct, more urgent.��Expendables is the latest exchange in a musical conversation that spans four decades. Baker aptly refers to the lineup of FAKE NAMES�as a �mutual admiration society� and says that once the five members got in the same room together, it felt as if they had already been in�the band together for years.

Last year BABYMETAL were �sealed� from the world after a successful 10-year journey. Earlier this year, THE OTHER ONE restoration project began to recover the BABYMETAL we never knew existed within a virtual world called the METALVERSE. The concept album releasing March 24, 2023 reveals the other side of the BABYMETAL story that no one knew existed. A total of 10 songs have been discovered within THE OTHER ONE restoration project, in which each song represents each theme of the 10 parallel worlds that seem to exist. Full length audio of each of the 10 songs will finally be revealed when fans get their hands on the album.

Dear Reader,�About a year or two ago, Naomi Yang (of Galaxie 500) reached out to me�after she rediscovered a video that we had made together in 2011, during the�making of Tramp, just before the album�s release. It was for the song Serpents.�The timing was uncanny, approaching the anniversary of Tramp. Thinking�about my time in New York while in the bubble of Los Angeles and my�home. Thinking about how restless I was, and now settled down and stable.�Thinking about how Aaron Dessner took a chance on me after I messaged�him with a fury of demos. He could see through the hiss and crappy vocals�on my GarageBand demos, and that I had something to say. He gave me the�confidence to be loud and to scream my rage and feel founded and justified�in my own pain. He gave me more tools to find catharsis in my work. I have�carried that with me ever since.�

Being on the west coast the last two years, I look back on my community�in New York and am forever grateful. I had so many friends and peers step�up and help me unfold these demos. The album that it became. Doug Keith�and Ben Lord from my original touring band, Logan Cole, Peter Silberman�from The Antlers, Jessica Larrabee from She Keeps Bees, Thomas Bartlett of�Doveman, Rob Moose of yMusic, Jenn Wasner of Wye Oak, Julianna Barwick,�Zach Condon of Beirut, Matt Barrick (of the Walkmen), Clarice Jensen, Ben�Lanz, Bryce Dessner, and Bryan Devendorf (of The National).�

I had almost forgotten about a song titled "This Is Too Right" that didn�t make�it onto the record. It was one of the first guitar �riffs� I had ever written and�Jenn Wasner sang on it with me. A song about not believing how good I had it,�like the other shoe was about to drop. I hope everyone that helped make this�record and supported it, feel the love and admiration that I continue to hold�for all of you. I hope that in sharing this record again, with a new video and�this forgotten track, that new listeners are brought into this album and find�meaning and relevance in it today. All of the musicians on this album helped�me�come to life and perform in ways I never had before.�

May these songs find you well. Sending all my love, Sharon.
