Recorded at Studio 4 Recording in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, Interiorswas produced and engineered by Will Yip (The Menzingers, Title Fight, Pianos Become the Teeth). While the album finds Quicksandembracing the cathartic, guitar-driven dynamic of their earlier work, Interiors also takes on a wider spectrum of sound.

With its heavy but melodic guitar lines, intense rhythms, and emotionally charged lyrics, lluminant shows the scope of Quicksand’s influence on post-hardcore and indie-rock bands over the last two decades. Interiorsfeatures the band’s lineup of drummer Alan Cage, frontman/guitarist Walter Schreifels and bassist Sergio Vega. Today, New York City post-hardcore band Quicksand have released their new album, Interiors – their first album in 22 years on Epitaph.
