Quatrefoil – Intrapacific (EP – Adventurous Music)
Genre/Influences: Experimental, Cinematic.
Format: Digital.
Background/Info: Croatian project Quatrefoil already released a few productions. This newest work featuring three tracks is inspired from pictures of the Pacific Coast in North America.
Content: The concept is totally inspiring for a Cinematic experience. The atmosphere is mysterious, a bit ominous, accentuated by shimmering vocal effects. Quite progressively the work moves towards a more improvised writing featuring field recordings.
+ + + : The debut track is a poignant experience with a strong visual appeal reminding me the “Twin Peaks”-tune. The writing is filled with sonic details creating a sophisticated although a bit free-styled approach.
– – – : I’m more into the Cinematic side of the work, the Experimental part being less accessible.
Conclusion: I don’t necessarily find the connection between the concept and the music, but it’s an interesting experience.
Best songs: “Undersight”, “Wateroverlast”.
Rate: 7.

About Quatrefoil
Quatrefoil is a Croatian Experimental and Cinematic project released on the Adventurous Music label. This EP, released July 20, 2022 under the title “Infrapacific”, was inspired by footage a friend sent while traveling the Pacific coast from Alaska to Tijuana; the artist mined that footage for sounds later processed into the record. All proceeds from the release were donated to the Osijek Animal Shelter in Croatia.
I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
The donations are safely powered by Paypal.
