New single ‘Statues’ out now!

matt — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:25:27 +0000

Our new single Statues is out today, and can be downloaded from Spotify and iTunes (just search for Quartershade, we’re the only one…).

Some people in the press kindly reviewed it. Here’s a selection:

“‘Statues’ is a breathless torrent of bubbling musical exhuberance. Quartershade sure know how to write a tune and they sure know how to execute it.” - Tasty Fanzine

“…a much welcomed surging shot of speaker spanking brittle and blistering pop” - The Sunday Experience

“Bright indie pop with a surging hook and some fine harmonies to boot… ” - Subba Cultcha

“Uplifting, maybe a little obvious in places, but inspired all the same, Quartershade seem to be embracing accessibility without sacrificing originality.” - Manchester Music

We hope you like it. We’re all done now for 2009 but we’ll be back in the new year with some more singles and our debut album. Exciting stuff!

Love QS

New singles…

matt — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:38:13 +0000

After a few teething problems, we can safely say that new single ‘Lights Out’ is now available to download from Spotify and iTunes. The Spotify link is this. You can find us on iTunes by searching for Quartershade.

To keep ourselves busy while we add the finishing touches to next-year’s album we’re putting out one more single before Xmas. It’s called ‘Statues’ and it will be available again from Spotify and iTunes on the 14th December. Neither Lights Out nor Statues will be on the album so get them while you can!

Take a listen and let us know what you think. And if you like it, tell your friends!
