‘Quiet Is The New Loud’ forges triumph from stolidly primitivist values by pulling the same soft-focus folk tricks that anguished men on stools have done for the past 40 years, only better.
If Quiet Is The New Loud had a quicker pulse, at least on a few more tracks, it would have been more successful. Instead, the album makes for an enticing, somewhat overly dour rainy day mood piece.
