thisquietarmy is the experimental guitar-based project of Eric Quach from Montreal, Canada – active since 2005. Revolving around improvised drone music, he takes his sonic experimentations further by adding textural and structural elements of post-punk/shoegaze, krautrock/spacerock & black/doom metal to them. The results can be described as dark, melodic, expansive & engaging dreamscapes. His live performances are mostly presented as a real-time score to hypnotic ethereal visuals, which he creates himself for each performance.
Forthcoming releases on Aurora Borealis (UK), Basses Fréquences (FR), Lunasylum (BE) & Orange Milk (US) have been scheduled for this spring, with more in the works for Denovali (DE), ConSouling (BE) & Dead Pilot (UK) later this year. Past works have appeared on labels such as Alien8 Recordings (CA), Killer Pimp (US), Three:Four (CH), Foreshadow (PL) & Elevation Recordings (US). thisquietarmy has also collaborated extensively with Aidan Baker (Nadja), Scott Cortez (lovesliescrushing) & Yellow6, and has several side-projects (Destroyalldreamers, Mains de Givre, Parallel Lines & Ghidrah).
With already such a large body of work released & nearing close to one hundred performances all over Canada, USA & Europe, thisquietarmy is a forward contender as a pioneer of the experimental music scene emerging from Canada.
