Backwords - Quilt (12" Vinyl LP + Download) CRR-003

On "Quilt" Backwords mixes the timeless rock instrumentation of guitar, bass, drums, and keys with everything from toy flutes and banjos to accordions and clips of field recordings. The heartfelt lead vocals offer a story-teller’s tone of simple, honest warmth while the backing harmonies and good old-fashioned gang vox deeply layer the sound. 12 tracks of solid gold tunes and unfussy production make it a record that goes great with an old turntable and a pair of bulky headphones.

"Quilt contains a gritty, unwavering, raw guitar-shredding ability, mixed with gorgeous melodies and soothing vocals. Sprinkle in occasional use of the banjo, fiddles, and female backup vocals, and you’ve got yourself one cohesive, warm, comforting product." -INDIE SHUFFLE

"Quilt has character, charm, and an infectious sense of enjoyment that carries over with little effort." -ADEQUACEY

"At the heart are some heavier themes that one can’t ignore. But they’re shrouded in cheerful music leaving one assured that this indeed a sad-happy state of affairs." -SAVING THE GOLDEN AGE

"I wouldn’t believe for a second that this album came out before the year 2000, but I can hardly believe it came afterward. Quilt is inherently an album of the American west; of great big canyons and slowly shifting plates. For those who think folk music should not have anything to do with synthesized fuzz and new wave pop beats: let Quilt prove you wrong." -DINGUS
