Quite Life - Act Natural
The indie rock quartet Quiet Life out of New London, Connecticut is making some splashes with their unique jazzy blues riffs, variegated with serious rock sensibilities that make their debut album Act Natural a minestrone delight. You can see the different bits and pieces that come together–the country folk influences felt through the banjos and the harmonicas throughout the album. “Niantic Bay Blues” is exactly that, showcasing the band’s knack for white-collared blues. “Sweet Smile” is an achingly sweet country rock ballad, with the vocals coming through like a sweet toothy grin on a Sunday morning.
On “Leah”, the band sings “We were young, yeah” and indeed they are. They’ve got some way to go in terms of polishing their sound and their affect. But the bottom line is that Act Natural is something distinctively and uncommonly enjoyable, and I’m looking forward to what Quiet Life has got in store for the future.
