   About The Quiet Ones
QUIET ONES LOVE YOU BETTER

The Quiet Ones on ALL MUSIC GUIDE

"The Quiet Ones—three brothers, two of whom are twins, and one friend—are my sleeper hit of the summer. They released Better Walk Than Ride Like That last year, and I remember thinking (and writing) at the time that it was a fine record with obvious nods to Wilco. But "fine" doesn't usually stick, and away they went into the "soon to be forgotten" pile. But after being reintroduced to them weeks ago, on a hot, sunny afternoon, everything clicked into place—their bright Beatles-esque harmonies, their fun guitar riffs, their playful drumming. Their songs are delightful and imperfect packages of pop, and I want to spend the rest of the summer doing nothing but going on picnics while listening to them." The Stranger 2009

"Better Walk Than Ride Like That continues in the Quiet Ones’ vein of delightfully sunny indie pop, layering rattling percussion, swelling background harmonies, lively guitar lines and puckish lyrics – all harkening back to the early 90s lo-fi sound of Pavement and Guided By Voices." Seattle Weekly 2009

"It's difficult, nay, impossible not to think that some of the Quiet Ones' songs are really long lost and unpolished first takes from Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot recording sessions—gems that were maybe beloved by Jeff Tweedy, but with their slightly noisier spine didn't completely fit in with the gentle flow of the highly revered record. Singer John Totten carefully delivers his words with the same mix of worn-down heartbreak and singing-will-save-me optimism that one can hear in Tweedy's voice, and their bright and slightly distorted indie rock by way of catchy pop sounds like it was created with as much care as any months-long visit in the studio, but the punk rock side of them won out in the end, causing them to bare their hearts in the less-than-perfect basement instead." The Stranger 2007


The Quiet Ones are proud to announce the arrival of their new album, Better Walk Than Ride Like That, available at Seattle area record stores or at shows. For more information on the band visit

I played the live 7" version of Oceans in Your Eyes at an art show in Oakland and it was pure bliss... it goes very well with Joy Division's Atmosphere... try it.
