Austin Spotlight: Quiet Company

Ok, I know it’s been a while since local darlings, Quiet Company, released their last record, We Are All Where We Belong, but if you live in Austin and still don’t know these gentlemen and their indie-rock jams, now is the time to change that. The locals are back with a new album announcement and a new tune for you to taste. Their new album, titled Transgressor, is slated to come out on February 24th, on Modern Outsider and it’s supposedly guitar driven and the band’s most mature record yet. Have a listen to the track below, “Seven Hells,” and see what you think. It’s certainly a darker direction musically, with a deep bass line charging through and a lot of buzz effects on the guitar, but once they launch into the chorus, Muse’s endearingly spastic vocals takeover and you’re reminded of classic Quiet Company.
