The 12-track self-titled player is beautifully
layered, with soaring and affecting music that will touch even those with the
blackest of hearts. Their lyrical genius is clear throughout and the
beautifully heartfelt lyrics coupled with the layers of soaring orchestral
music makes for an especially strong debut.
Each track is painted like a collage, where
lots of elements come together as one to tell a story for the listener. For
such a young band to accomplish such delicate layering and mastering is a sight
to behold and the sky really isn’t the limit for what they can achieve from
here.
The album has many highlights, but Home is a
particularly strong and perfectly placed track at the mid-point with a massive
build. Singles Immersed and Seven Hundred Birds make an early impact, and the
latter half of the album is the most deeply affecting, leaving the listener
with a poignant finish.
Few bands can make such a strong impact with
their debut, but Quickbeam have achieved that and then some. The future is
looking very, very bright for them.
Quickbeam is released on June 3rd
via Comets and Cartwheels.
