Crestless, by Lemon Quartet

Crestless

by Lemon Quartet

supported by

turquoisechair Simply a perfect little tune in length, atmosphere and construction. Favorite track: Dry Pot Dream.

👽🍹 Smoked out, late night lounge. Twinkling basslines, shimmering keys, droning sax, and clinquant vibraphone. These guys are cold blooded killers.

Shaun Rutherford Such a great start-to-finish listen that it's hard to pick a real favorite, but this is the track I've come back to more often, for obvious pandemic reasons. Favorite track: Variation On A Mask.

about

In the American midwest, the two weeks or so in mid-Spring that brings the year’s most vibrant crop of edible mushrooms coincides with the busiest season for a few of its most deceptively poisonous fungi: the false morels. Bearing a pale stalk and a halo of cerebral folds, they look like a lot of similar mushrooms, but if you can’t identify them for what they are, and treat them the right way, consuming even small quantities can cause vertigo, vomiting, and organ failure.

Lemon Quartet weren’t thinking about mushrooms when they made their debut album Crestless, but the false morels still provide a window into understanding their music. Their intricately arranged instrumentals may look familiar at a glance—they have these ornate compositional ruffles and gilded melodies that feel full of warmth and nostalgia—but there’s this deep, dark something hiding in the record’s shadowy corners. It’s not poison though, just a mycelial complexity that begs that you take each piece and study its contours as you take and eat. The work that you put in makes it feel all the more nourishing.
