“It’s right there in the band’s name, but the music of Quilt is truly a tapestry. Its songs are made of small bits of verses and choruses that, heard individually, may not seem to fit. But in the hands and voices of this band, they stitch together beautifully. Interweaving harmonies and guitar lines from Anna Fox Rochinski and Shane Butler set the tone for these tunes — soft and benevolent, dreamy and quivering, with poetry that’s thoughtful and playful. The opening song at this Tiny Desk Concert, “Arctic Shark,” questions and enchants.
This eastern harbor’s full of grief
All my heavy dreams are simply a luxury
Horses in the pepper tree and the lighthouse floating in the sea”
“Eye Of The Pearl”
“Mary Mountain”
“Penobska Oakwalk”
