Now comes Charley’s tenth album in his six-year career.

His distinctive, plaintive vocals crack unapologetically with emotion, and he phrases his lines around the beat like a jazz singer, while he expounds upon personal relationships and the world beyond.
And there’s a gauzy veil of mystery surrounding him suggesting he knows more than he’s letting on.Īll those records in such a short amount of time have come with a “No Two Alike” guarantee, particularly the last three releases: the darkly prescient Welcome to Hard Times the semi-autobiographical, hard-core country-roots The Valley and 10 for Slim, his tribute of songs by the obscure and wholly authentic Texas honky-tonk maestro James Hand. Not bad for a thirty-seven-year-old late bloomer.Ĭharley Crockett has been a fairly remarkable artist to follow. It’s clear that he’s invested as much time in the studio, recording storytelling songs, and making storytelling videos, as he has barnstorming around the United States and Europe playing live shows. The latest, a double album, suggests the artist has some songs worth paying attention to. Ten records in six years is some kind of prolific. The album cover you’re looking at might lead you to conclude Charley Crockett is on one hell of a roll. They will likely be the most memorable shows of the band’s career. The band has dates on hold for the fall, notes Schreifels, and fingers are crossed Quicksand will be out there performing very soon. Not a single one of these songs has ever been played live onstage. Practically speaking, that’s precisely whom Quicksand recorded it for: Listeners very far away. There may be a final irony in the title of Distant Po p ulations. “Eventually, when it came time to make a record,” Schreifels says, “we would just edit down to the ones that were most exciting to us all, and then refocus on them and see if we could recapture the magic from it.” Looking forward to making the next album, the three of them-frontman/ guitarist Walter Schreifels, bassist Sergio Vega, and drummer Alan Cage-had methodically recorded various soundchecks, improvisations, and show rehearsals, and compiled the results. The songwriting itself had been no minor process: Following the release of Interiors, the band successfully toured around the world and in the process fully re-established their chemistry together. Critically lauded and deemed very much worth the wait, Interiors succeeded in reestablishing the band as the powerful and contemporary entity they had always been.ĭistant Po p ulations has a punchier, more up-tempo sound than its predecessor its 11 songs are concise, carved sonic jewels boasting not a single wasted note and its raw power, its gripping lyricism, leaps out from the very first listening.
