The Quarter After - s/t

Amazing collection of classic Jangle that fans of The Gripweeds, Byrds, Love, The Monkees, Buffalo Springfield, The Waxwings and other post-psych Nuggets/Laurel Canyon jangle-vibe(think The Tyde, Beachwood Sparks) will not want to miss. This is something terribly, wildly special with its soaring vocal harmonies confronted head on by a searing, full-frontal guitar assault. "A fusion of dreamy 60s folk-pop melodies, reminiscent of the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and a few lesser known Sunset Strip bands." Alternative Press. "The Quarter After`s brilliant self-titled debut disc picks up where the Lears` "The Story So Far" left off with a surfeit of psych-pop and jangly retro-pop that would make the bands that originated the Sunset Strip sound of the mid-60s proud if not downright envious! Several tracks, "Always Returning" and "Too Much To Think About," merit favorable comparison with the Grip Weeds splendid multi-layered psych-pop repertoire. "Too Much To Think About," clocking in at over eleven minutes, is evidence that the Quarter After like to stretch things out. "Taken" is a magnificent journey that effortlessly holds listener interest for just over nine minutes. The ten-song pseudo-60s joyride opens with the Byrds-inspired track "So Far To Fall" and the album comes to a jangly finish with the equally Byrds-inspired "Everything Again." In between these two tracks, the Quarter After tip their hats to Gene Clark, Arthur Lee and Love, numerous other Nuggets-era artists, and even REM. Guitar enthusiasts will drool over the full color insert photo of the band`s arsenal of stringed instruments. The Quarter After is a solid contender for Top Ten Album honors in 2005!" -- Eric Sorensen, Fufkin.com.

"A really well done collection of Byrdsy tunes with psychedelic trappings. Fans of bands like The Waxwings and The Grip Weeds will definitely want to snap this up. The disc contains some pretty and direct numbers, but this band is at its best when it simply cuts loose. "Taken" is a tour-de-force ..Of course, a whole album of this nature would...well, it would be great, but probably exhausting to listen to..Much like The Waxwings on their debut, The Quarter After can conjure up sounds like Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Stone Roses at the same time, as their harmonies mesh with a more psychedelic bent..This is an extremely impressive debut album, and certainly one of the best releases of 2005."- Mike Bennett, Fufkin.com.
