Fugues compilation feat. TQA reviewed by TSB
Here: http://thesilentballet.com/dnn/Home/tabid/36/ctl/Details/mid/384/ItemID/2106/Default.aspx
Thisquietarmy can produce more than a nocturnal character, and "Summer Isolation," by far the longest track on the compilation appears to be the perfect proof; for once, listening to tqa in full daylight does not seem like an absurd and foolish idea. - Diana S.
Not sure if it's still available, but see this blog entry for more info.

Blackhaunter reviewed in the Montreal Hour
Pick up a copy of the Montreal Hour, read the "Blackhaunter" review (****) by Steve Guimond; throw it out with the rest of the 50,000 or so copies in the recycling bins next week.
If you're environmental-friendly, you can just read it online here: http://www.hour.ca/music/spin.aspx?iIDDisque=5178, but the papers are already printed anyway...
Actually, just read it here:

Steve Guimond
Eric Quach (x-Destroyalldreamers) is the lonely general who commands thisquietarmy, a Montreal instrumental project that has been gathering steam since its inception in 2005. Quach goes it all alone, a guitar in one hand, pedals in the other, loops in another, processors in the next, and a computer in the other, creating a world where these beings live peacefully, slowly, side by side in a stunned seaside embrace. The music is carefully plotted, a turtle's pace for fragile sound worlds to build and collapse, rebuild and collapse. ****

Thisquietarmy in Cuba
Not for anything music-related though... Fled to an all-inclusive resort from Dec 28th to Jan 4th for the first real vacation in a very very long time. Well-deserved too, after this handful 2008:
* 2 full-length albums released
* 1 book soundtrack ep
* 1 synth-only ep
* 1 single/b-side
* 1 short-film soundtrack
* 1 collaborative album (forthcoming)
* 3 exclusive compilation songs
* 1 remix
* 22 live performances
* 2 full-time jobs
But I actually still cheated: I did some soundwave editing and created some beat-patterns in my hotel room. Can't really stop a workaholic.
2009, who knows... No real plans yet.
Lots of ideas, but as usual, not enough time.
Thanks to everyone who has supported Thisquietarmy this year - whether you have attended a performance, bought a CD, helped to promote, wrote a review or a comment, talked about, passed the word around, gave it listen, anything... Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
