Go to college. Graduate college. Start a successful band with your pals and tour across the world. Sounds just about right for the psych-folk band, Quilt.
Quilt’s founding members were sewn together through the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. The musically diverse trio composed of John Andrews, Anna Rochinski, and Shane Butler are known for their eccentric sound that showcases well-arranged two- and three-part harmonies. Quilt’s upcoming release Held in Splendor reflects the trio’s on-point harmonies as well as their great instrumental additions and arrangements.
The release of Held in Splendor is still almost a week away, but to make the wait a little bit easier, we’re giving away a Quilt prize pack! The prize pack includes the band’s self-titled LP, the “Arctic Shark” 7″, and the upcoming Held in Splendor LP.
Since their debut, self-titled release in 2011, Quilt has perfected their sound and has taken a new and creative approach to songwriting and recording. Beginning the recording process for Held in Splendor in Spring 2013, Quilt spent a month locked in a recording studio in New York City, shooting around song ideas, maximizing their time, and eventually involving a few friends as guest instrumentalists on some tracks, resulting in a record that is appropriately named.
To win the Quilt prize pack, leave a comment below naming another terrific musical trio. I’m going to say Lady Antebellum.
A winner with a North American mailing address will be chosen on the release day for Held in Splendor, Tuesday, January 28, out via Mexican Summer.
