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.
