“Lightning Field” feels like a post-hardcore take on Candy Apple Grey-era Hüsker Dü, and there are grinding, heavier affairs like “Colossus,” with its pruned tempo and significant aural weight. Quicksand’s approach has changed considerably in the past three decades, still muscular and intense, but allowing themselves a certain measure of transient harmonizing and bold choruses. Following the release of their 2017 comeback, Interiors, their fourth LP Distant Populations continues the band’s legacy of revival, one that was pitted against somewhat stark odds. All the while their legend quietly (or loudly rather) grew, becoming the kind of band that would be mentioned in the same breath as Fugazi with equal reverence.
A victim of the ’90s post-Nevermind signing binge, the group were never marketed particularly well, and following the release of 1995’s Manic Compression, the group would spend a decade in near-silence.
