Sounds Like
Julian Bozeman writes some of the songliest songs since AC Newman or maybe even Jim Krewson. Songs with notable nouns and meandering melodies and intertwined vocals and things that sound like they were actually put down with pencil and paper versus "jammed out" in the recording studio at 2 AM. The fact that these songs are performed by a 10- to 13-member chamber orchestra who sound like the animatronic house band at a well-run chain of downhome theme restaurants is the weed-laced icing on a cake made of, I don't know, let's say a pile of money. Not working for you? OK, how about "tender feelings." -- THE MICK ..- From ..Vice Magazine .. .. Party Party Partners, the outfit behind last month's Next to Last Fest in Athens, have just released a 10-song vinyl LP from Athens combo Quiet Hooves. Saddle Up is a confounding cowboy carnival, a twisted toy store symphony run amok, or perhaps just the next step in psycho ward pholk muzak. Julian Bozeman leads this "12-piece minimal pop band," a seemingly contradictory description that probably makes profound sense after a handful of potent shrooms. ..- From ..Stomp and Stammer.. .. .. I really really enjoyed hearing your band live and the CD. Part of what I like about it is it reminds me of so many things that are to me usually unrelated sensibilities: Holy Modal Rounders, Gary Numan (the synth portamento and starting and stopping), Slap Happy (British Band associated with Henry Cow) and also slightly of Stickmen, Etron Fou Leloublan, and the like. But its not at all just a melange of styles so that means you must be doing something special! The disk is getting good play in my car these days. Always a critic, I wish you had a slight bit more dynamics/orchestration layering and a bit more attention to more distinctive timbre/sound, but the vibe and constructions are great! .. - From ..John Berndt.. ..Their large ensemble, which included a three piece horn section, three keyboards, a guitar, a bass and the happiest auxiliary percussion player we've ever seen, created a gloriously chaotic sound that threatened to collapse but never did. This was mostly intentional but also was partially due to the fact that many key band members were not present, including a bass player away at a surprise wedding in Cancun. .. - From ..Huffington Post.. ..THIS is how you do the whole disjointed-genius, Jad-Fair-channeling-Van-Dyke-Parks thing. You get eight or nine buddies to play every instrument in the world and then take yourself about 3 million times less seriously. Then you stamp a skateboarding horse on some used clothes and sell them for “however much you feel like paying” out of a box in front of the Soiled Mattress and the Springs show. Perfection. .. - From ..Vice magazine Sundaes issue.. - Best album art of the month! ....Quiet Hooves play pop songs of a sort but make use of impressively thick textural spaces, of arrangements that refuse the basic geometries of the radio-friendly and bored. There is a keen attention to sonic balance, to timbral weight and aural event, at the heart of the group’s eccentric bricolage-pop; the limber lineaments of Julian Bozeman’s songs slide through and butt up against an omnipresent and shimmering drone of horns, violin, electronics, and toy piano; and Mercer West’s agile and angular drumming serves as a medium through which the two sound-worlds -- organized in Stravinskian blocks or spatial compartments that would make Pierre Boulez smile (if indeed he ever smiles) -- can interact. .. - From ..The Kansas City Star.. ....Working in an eight-piece format, in which two of the members switch between instruments, puts you in a good position to craft some interesting ditties, and Quiet Hooves don’t miss the opportunity. They have quite a few really excellent, Original (capital O intended) songs, and they don’t overdo them. That’s to say they don’t seem intent on stupefying the audience with “complex” soloing, or extended vamping, etc., but aim to share the fun of music (and it’s power as well – there is considerable ideological substance to some of their tracks). So individual parts are often kept technically modest, but the band moves well together and its arrangements are allowed to do the necessary work of rocking the boat. (If you shoot yourself in the foot, chances are the boat’s gonna get a hole in it, too.) ..This is an alluring project to be sure, and as I continue to collect pieces of the Quiet Hooves puzzle, I am more compelled to keep working on it (i.e., paying attention). A nice show, and the trumpet so lovely. .. - From ..Flagpole Live Reviews.. ..In a small town just out of reach of any of the best maps sits a little country house, off off off the main road, behind a clump of tall pines. It's a fine white, strong flat paneling outside the porch and up the side to the little room at the very top. The room whose roof is the one thing the sun hits its nose on while going up the hillside. In this room there's one soft small bed, a light faded row of books, a painting of a river, dust on the desk, and two things on the windowsill: a plant, mouth open and ready to catch the dripping blood of the sun as it floats and races by, and a crystal. A crystal that looks, when held up to light, or held in the tightest dark, like a whole mountain of glass. With base camps and tree lines and snow caps and sweeping rock faces with little foot trails and caves and drifts and clouds. And it's cursed. Don't touch it. ..From ..Said The Gramophone.. - "hott r nott" track review ....?? Quiet Hooves ???f??? pop t?a???d?a! ?e??p??.... ??µ?µe??? ap? t??
