Quicksand Releases Fifth Album 'Bring On The Psychics' After 30 Years

The post-hardcore band Quicksand has released their fifth album, 'Bring On The Psychics', marking a significant milestone in their 30-year career. The album, which follows a five-year gap since their last release, showcases the band's enduring vitality and freshness despite their longevity. Frontman Walter Schreifels, known for his work with Gorilla Biscuits, Rival Schools, and Walking Concert, leads the trio, which also includes drummer Alan Cage and bassist Sergio Vega. The album opens with the dynamic track 'Get to it' and maintains high energy throughout its 30-minute runtime. Notable songs include 'Regenerate' and 'Crystallize', which deliver powerful, drum-heavy performances. The only exception is the quieter, more experimental track 'Days you run to', which may require some adjustment for listeners. Most songs stay under three minutes, keeping the album concise and engaging. The title track closes the album on a strong note, bringing it close to the quality of their earlier milestones 'Slip' (1993) and 'Manic Compression' (1995). The band's live performances are also highlighted as a source of continued energy and enthusiasm, suggesting no end in sight for Quicksand's creative output.
