Quicksand have dropped a new single, Giving The Past Away.
The raw, slow-burning rocker arrives ahead of the New York City post-hardcore band's run of dates with Clutch and Helmet, in support of their 2021 fourth album 'Distant Populations'.
Originally recorded during the sessions for the Will Yip-produced LP, the song didn't make the final tracklist, though it delivers a fresh sound without abandoning the style of their '90s classics. The band commented:
"The working title for this song was Greatest Quicksand Song Ever so you can imagine it was a very tough call leaving this song off 'Distant Populations'. The only reason we could agree on to leave it off was that we wanted to have some really strong material in reserve for later in the year. Ultimately the title came from the most prominent line in the song which is an embrace of the present which is very in line with our thinking with 'Distant Populations'. We're super proud of this one and are very psyched to share it with the world."
