In March 2014 Quilt performed at Mexican Summer’s inaugural festival in Marfa, Texas. The remote town, which is renowned for its unique and otherworldly atmosphere, provided a perfect setting for performance and experimentation. During their stay, Quilt spent an entire day holed up in a small recording studio located near the Chinati Arts Foundation. Surrounded by sun-baked earth, cracked courtyards and cacti, the four-piece set fourth of their existing recordings live to reel – then left the tape running.
The resulting sounds provide an honest capsule to the time and place they were captured. Presented as a suite, the band’s live sense of flow is perfectly realized and untethered: “Mary Mountain” and “The World is Flat” taken from sophomore album Held In Splendor, breathe, move and shimmer with a palpable new energy. “As We Follow” (“Arctic Shark” b-side) and “Milo”, from their debut album, close things out, and find new pathways in their expanded, exploratory formats. The recording finishes with a 25-minute free-form improvisation that manages to sonically echo the landscape in which it was captured – beautiful, gnarled and mirage-like.
