Quiet Village...Just Blowin' Minds Left 'n Right


I don't understand this. As I listen to what precious little I have of Quiet Village, I am reminded that music has no limits. It truly can open gates of understanding that are previously kept hidden. GorillavsBear pointed me to this, and for that, my greatest thanks.
What is Quiet Village, you may ask?
Well, the straight answer is: I don't know.

As far as I can gather, they are a "DJ" (I use that term loosely) Duo from the United Kingdom who make lo-fi-dub-world-trance-hip-hop-genre-mind-bending music.
Honestly, to describe the otherworldy sound of Quiet Village is a mammoth task equivalent to explicating the Hopelandic lyrics to Sigur Ros' ().
Which is what I first thought of when I heard Quiet Village. Imagine Sigur Ros in dubstep form with samples. Their ability to conjure up pictures with sound is equatable. But in truth, I'll let the musics do the talkings:

These are tracks I scrounged from their upcoming
Debut LP Silent Movie:

mp3: "Free Rider"
mp3: "Pacific Rhythm"

You also MUST hear the song "Pillow Talk" on their myspace.
If I rated my musical selections, this would garner my highest accolade possible.
I really am excited beyond reason for this LP.
