KC Quilty, in the early stages of their exis­tence, have cre­ated a batch of songs (the band released a split 7-inch on Decem­ber 10 and will release their first full LP Clover/Coriander on Jan­u­ary 22) that man­ages to sum­ma­rize the good bits of an his­tor­i­cal period that a ton of music fans hold a fond­ness for. And instead of com­ing off as a tired retread, it feels entirely new among their auda­cious, genre-breeding con­tem­po­raries. It’s direct­ness in style-ripping is not the result of a fail­ure to birth new ideas; it’s the result of the con­fi­dence KC Quilty has in its taste and abil­i­ties. There are those who strive on craft­ing new forms of sound and those who strive on stream­lin­ing a pre-existing for­mula. The con­tem­po­rary music scene sur­vives on both. It’s just a refresh­ing breath of 15-year-old air to hear a band choose the latter.
