Quicksand Release Ripping New Album Bring On The Psychics

Quicksand have released their new album Bring On The Psychics today via Equal Vision Records. The record is the New York post-hardcore band's first full-length in five years and was produced and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain).

Across ten tracks, Bring On The Psychics connects the groove-heavy force of Quicksand's early work with the more expansive direction of their recent records. The album moves from the hook-driven weight of “Get To It” and the locked-in attack of “Cool Guy” to the shoegaze textures of “Crystallize” and the more subdued “Days You Run To.”

“For this album, I was going back to a lot of my earlier influences about ‘Break Down The Walls’ or ‘Start Today,’” guitarist/vocalist Walter Schreifels says. “They’re speaking to the time and providing possible paths to a better future … with mosh parts. That’s the energy that I wanted to bring to this.”

Quicksand will support the album with a U.S. headline tour featuring Bane and Soul Blind, beginning August 3 in Norfolk, Virginia. Be sure to check out what is sure to be one of the best post-hardcore albums of the year.
