After releasing their first new track in several years this past spring, Quicksand have now issued another track and announced a new album.
Produced by Will Yip (Defeater, The Menzingers) and mixed by Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Megadeth), the new LP has been titled Distant Populations and is slated to arrive on August 13 (digital) and September 24 (physical) through Epitaph Records.
New song "Missile Command" can be streamed here:
"It really kind of focuses on Sergio's (Vega) whole motif in a very simple way. He and Alan (Cage) just have this really kind of trademark groove, and I think that really sings on this one to me," says frontman Walter Schreifels of the new track. "I just felt like it's a kind of song that is very us, but we hadn't written it yet."
