Keyboardist <strong>Anna Fox Rochinski<\/strong> remains the primary vocal focus, but guitarist <strong>Shane Butler<\/strong> takes the lead on the <strong>Monkees<\/strong>-flavored \u201cSearching For,\u201d and other tunes feature a dual male-female lead vocal in the tradition of <strong>Jefferson Airplane<\/strong> and <strong>HP Lovecraft<\/strong>. Quilt puts care into the melodies; rather than a brooding, <strong>Velvet Underground<\/strong> style vibe, they craft tunes with melodies that will stick with the listener.
