Quiet Company

Northern Records’ latest discovery is Taylor Muse, who calls himself Quiet Company. His debut album is a self-made affair – he wrote it, produced it, and played almost all the instruments himself. Given that, the record is surprisingly hi-fi. This is dramatic pop music of the highest order, mostly piano-led with some stunning synth orchestrations supporting some killer tunes, particularly “Fashionabel” and the beautiful “Love is a Shotgun.” Think Grandaddy, or a budget Sufjan Stevens. Quiet Company is another gem from Northern, the little label that could, and almost always does.
