Our Take

Quasi's latest offering, "American Gong," is a delightful whirlwind of sonic experimentation and raw emotion that is sure to captivate both long-time fans and newcomers alike. The Portland duo, comprised of Sam Coomes and Janet Weiss, have been making music together for over two decades, and their chemistry is evident throughout this album. From the opening track, "Repetition," with its infectious guitar riff and driving rhythm, to the hauntingly beautiful "Bye Bye Blackbird," Quasi showcases their versatility and range. Coomes' impassioned vocals are complemented perfectly by Weiss' powerful drumming, creating a sound that is at once familiar and wholly unique. Tracks like "Laissez Les Bon Temps Rouler" and "Rockabilly Party" showcase Quasi's signature blend of punk rock attitude and pop sensibility, while songs like "Death Is Not the End" and "Now What" delve into deeper, more introspective themes. The result is an album that is at turns uplifting and melancholic, but always captivating. Overall, "American Gong" is a triumph for Quasi, showcasing the band at the peak of their creative powers. With its infectious hooks, heartfelt lyrics, and timeless appeal, this album is sure to become a classic in the indie rock canon. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and let Quasi take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget. Cheers!
