donovan quinn & the 13th month - sister alchemy - soft abuse - 7" - 5$
After several years of writing and recording, Donovan Quinn recently completed his proper debut, working as Donovan Quinn & the 13th Month. Before we get too far into the LP's hows and whys, we've got this single to serve as a taste of what will soon be. Sister Alchemy appears on the forthcoming LP. The Rabbits Tracks, wherein DQ channels Kris Kristofferson and Nikki Sudden with equal woozy prejudice, is exclusive to this release. Amazing sleeve art by Jill Storthz.
"Though best known for his work with the Skygreen Leopards, Quinn has been culling his private weird recordings since he lived in a rotting trailer in the suburban sprawl of Walnut Creek, California. Due to popular insistence, the man has finally gone solo. Quinn is a Marlboro man mystic channeled through Francois Hardy just woken from a nap: frowsy, susurrant
and surly. He curls out chords like Duane Eddy on ludes, strumming on some ether plane of American guitar groupmind. It warms my heart that perhaps people will hear Donovan and be able to discern a true contender from the hollow trees out there." - Elisa Ambrogio, Arthur Magazine
