QUICKSAND
Bring On The Psychics
2026 U.S. Ltd. Edition pressing
Dusk Blue with White Swirl vinyl

Quicksand is back, and all is right(ish) with the world again.

As a lifelong devotee of this amazing band, I could not be happier with Bring On The Psychics.

Walter is still at the top of his game songwriting-wise, the guitars are still dope as hell, and it feels like they’ve found a comfortable groove in their old age.

They’re not looking back at Slip or Manic Compression; still being in the NOW as well as pushing forward, as opposed to trying to replicate those touchstone records.

This is the third album since they’ve reunited, and ALL three have been fucking fantastic.

It’ll be a sad day when Quicksand call it a day for good.

This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #UnexpectedWhiplash - songs that start one way and then change. There are so many great ones people are mentioning.

The first one that came to mind for me is Helmet's 'Wilma's Rainbow' from their 1994 record Betty. It's the intro track too, it start everything off.. Page is doing this kinda simple, chill guitar thing first, a couple times, and then the guitar, bass, and drums hit you full on in the fucking FACE. And then at the end, after the most insane solo you've ever heard, it has a false ending. Perfection. And then the REST of the record. 🤯

Looks like I'm going through (my) #PerfectAlbums today. They're all subjective.

This one might not be some people's tastes. But to me, it's perfect.

I'm a Meat Puppets fanatic, seen em multiple times, love stuff from all the albums. But only a few of their records I find perfect. I'm not big on their super early stuff. Bits and pieces.

I dig 'Monsters' from 1989 fully, but it's not an 'anytime' kind of record for me. So the first Meat Puppets record I find perfect - an 'anytime' album - is 1991's 'Forbidden Places'.

Has some real alt-country on this one (as most Puppets records do, it's not much, among the blazing guitars). From the first seconds and minutes of "Sam" - I mean, they still play this live. It is WILD. They Might Be Giants covered "Whirlpool". This album is rad, man. From "No Longer Gone" (which was my username on Twitter for many years) 🤣 to the title track, just legendary. Underrated?
