Once of the same stable as Map of Africa, on Whatever We Want records, Quiet Village have finally released their first proper album, through K7!
(wait a while before the images kick in…)
Here’s the blurb: “…borrowing their name from Martin Denny’s exotica masterpiece, Quiet Village make the old sound new (and vice versa). Influenced by Italian film soundtracks, BBC library music, disco edits, acid rock, vintage soul and easy listening, they smear the unlikeliest elements… into an hour-long reverie with vaseline on its lens.”
Couldnt have put it better myself, really.
It’s being blogged to fuck at the moment so check out Elbo.ws, or better still be nice and go to the site to download and pre-view the album, and indeed buy it. Listen to Quiet Village Radio here.
