Speedy Ortiz is the aptly-named recording project of Sadie Dupuis, formerly vocalist/guitarist of the Brooklyn band (and NYCTaper Northside showcase vets) Quilty. This year’s very-well-received full-length debut on Carpark Records, Major Arcana, shows the full potential of Dupuis’ sound when joined to a band, who first recorded with her on 2012’s Sports EP. If Quilty echoed the heavy-tinged sound of Veruca Salt almost to a tee at points, Speedy Ortiz draws from a broader palette of influences, including Tuscadero, Slant 6 and Archers of Loaf to name a few. But not only can Dupuis write a hell of a catchy song, but she stands out both for having a singing voice that she can throttle up from sweet to scream at a moment’s notice. While her contemporaries’ lyrics often tend to word salad to fill space between riffs, Dupuis’ confessional style gives you something to think about — which led Pitchfork to make a favorable comparison to Liz Phair in their review of Major Arcana.

This Hopscotch Music Festival set by the band was one of the more hotly-anticipated of the festival for me, having missed several of the Northampton, MA band’s local shows. To the surprise of no one, the band’s live show brought out the harder element of their sound, while more surprisingly still giving Dupuis’ vocals plenty of room to shine in the mix. The band didn’t spend much time on chitchat during a short-but-sweet set that covered many of Major Arcana‘s best tracks plus some more obscure releases like the 7″ release “Taylor Swift” and two tracks from Sports, including one of my favorites, “Silver Spring”. Dupuis has always had a knack for songwriting, and with this unit cohering around that skill, I’d expect Speedy Ortiz to see a lot more positive press in their future.

I recorded this set with Schoeps MK41 microphones from an ideal location in the venue. The sound is excellent. Enjoy!

New York fans can catch the band at the newly-refurbished Silent Barn on October 19th.

Quilty: June 19, 2011 NYCTaper Northside Showcase @ Public Assembly – FLAC and MP3 Downloads + Streaming Songs

[Stills from this video]

Our very first Northside Festival showcase (co-sponsored with Pop Tarts) got off to a heavy, loud and massive start with the Brooklyn band Quilty. Perhaps best distinguished by the fact that Chuck, their bassist, plays a “trombass” – a trombone attached to various effect pedals that give it a variety of bass guitar-like sounds – Quilty get your attention quickly. Vocalist Sadie Dupuis has a voice that shifts gears from sweetly melodic to snarl. Her voice, combined with the band’s huge drums and buzzsaw guitars, can’t help but bring one back to the great bands of the early and mid-90s. The song “Supernova,” in particular, evoked fond memories of the band Veruca Salt, although Quilty do a much better job actually being heavy than that band did trying to transition to that sound after one record. The set was a mix of songs from their excellent full-length, Clover/Coriander as well as some new material, and their live sound rocked even harder than that record. For those still dragging in from day shows, or the previous day’s hangovers, Quilty’s set was a bolt to the brain. They shook the walls of Public Assembly’s front room – heck, they shook my guts – but their songcraft shone through it all.

I recorded this set with the AKG large-diaphragm microphones taped to posts split 5′ apart back by the soundboard to capture the full feel of the room, plus a soundboard feed. The recording is excellent. Enjoy!
