Exuding vibes fondly reminiscent of Modest Mouse, “Quiet (rest)” is a new track from New Jersey-based act Quality Living. Coming from the band’s new album Something Softly Caught Me, “Quiet (rest)” is nicely indicative of the creative fare throughout. The band describes “Quiet (rest)” as a “song in which free time squares off against shaky mental health in the match of the century.”
The track’s vocals remind distinctively of Isaac Brock, a nice fit considering the vibrant and capricious-sounding nature of the track. The “quiet and blue,” section rises well into the “what would you do?” reflection thereafter. I enjoyed the building-up feeling throughout, generating enjoyable momentum. “Quiet (rest)” is a consuming track, from an album that’s certainly recommended.
