Interiors (Quicksand album)

Quicksand first disbanded in October 1995, about eight months after the release of Manic Compression, because of internal conflicts. However, the band reunited in 1997, and spent most of the following year writing new material and embarking on their first tour in three years. In August 1998, they entered Carriage House Studios in Stamford, Connecticut with producer Steven Haigler to begin recording their third album.[10] After touring North America with Deftones and Snapcase from September to November 1998, Quicksand returned to the studio to continue working on the follow-up Manic Compression; despite a successful tour and a more collaborative effort in the writing process, resurfaced tensions would eventually split up the band indefinitely in late 1999 and doom the material to remain officially unreleased.[10] Whether any songs from these sessions appeared on Interiors is currently unknown.

Speculation about new music from Quicksand surfaced in July 2013 when the band posted a photo from the studio, which was later deleted.[11] Asked in July 2017 if it was true that they were working on new material, frontman Walter Schreifels responded, "Can't confirm or deny."[12]

On August 21, 2017, Quicksand's Twitter feed and Walter Schreifels' Instagram account teased the title of their third album Interiors, to be released some time this year on Epitaph, with a 30-second video clip.[13] On the following day, the band streamed their first single in 22 years, "Illuminant", and announced that the album would be released on November 10, 2017.[1]

All songs written by Alan Cage, Walter Schreifels and Sergio Vega.
