Good Day Noir Family,
Quality Living step into “Sumac Red” with a tone that immediately recalls the hazy spirit of Blind Melon.

Sumac Red is Quality Living’s Single Out Now

 There’s a psychedelic undercurrent running through the track, yet it never drifts too far from its rock backbone. The band shapes a visionary style that feels distinctly their own. The vibe is loose but controlled, dreamy yet grounded.

What struck me most, however, is the production. The mix comes through crisp and present, almost startlingly alive. The instruments don’t feel distant or overly polished. They sound as if the band is playing right inside the room. That immediacy adds weight to every note. Because of this clarity, even the subtler textures stand out.

There’s an intriguing blend of neorealism and psychedelic emotion at play. The track carries a raw, honest pulse, while the layered guitars add color and depth. The result is a dynamic contrast between grounded storytelling and swirling tonal shifts. As the song unfolds, you begin to notice how carefully each element interacts with the others.

The guitar solo introduces a surprising twist. There’s a tonal hint that evokes Hawaiian flavors, giving the track a brief sense of sunlit openness. The bassline slips in with a playful funk touch, gently teasing the rhythm section. This interplay creates movement without overwhelming the core melody. Furthermore, the alternative guitar textures keep the arrangement edgy and contemporary.

Although the influences are varied, Quality Living never lose their identity. They weave those inspirations into a cohesive whole. The development grows naturally, expanding its emotional reach without forcing dramatic shifts.

“Sumac Red” ultimately stands as a strong example of artistic evolution. The band demonstrates creativity, confidence, and a willingness to experiment across genres. Yet they never sacrifice focus. The track inspires through its originality and bold sonic choices.

Quality Living proves once again that their range of influences fuels rather than dilutes their sound. “Sumac Red” is another impressive step forward in their artistic journey.

Quality Living centers on Darrel Norrell—vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer—whose wide-ranging voice blends melody with an off-kilter edge. Their album Glacier was recorded over several years in a repurposed garage studio in northern New Jersey, where arrangements were refined with obsessive care.

The lineup includes Albert Chua on lead guitar, Chris Foxz on hooks and harmonies, Nick Sardone on gritty melodic bass, and Chris Mulinos on groove-heavy drums. Skylar Ross completed the final mix and master.

Pittsburgh-based three-piece wrecking ball STALEMATE OF WILLS is set to drop their debut full-length album, Existence Denied.

Following a string of singles, STALEMATE OF WILLS is ready to unleash an 8-track rager that embodies the American rust belt blight that surrounds them. True to the band’s mantra of “heavy riffs for a withering world,” Existence Denied is an amalgamation of doom metal, hardcore, New Orleans-style sludge metal, with flourishes of traditional 90s death metal.

Listeners can expect down-tuned, groove inflicted “meat and potatoes” riffing and drumming, that easily pivots into creepier and mellower territory. Lyrically, STALEMATE OF WILLS concentrates on the endless frustrations created by the hopelessness experienced throughout life, and the inability to change it but still survive.

Check out the album’s first single, “Two Worlds” at this location.

FFTC Records will release Existence Denied on April 26.

Track-list:
1) Visibility
2) Maximum Amounts of Woe
3) Existence Denied
4) Two Worlds
5) Let It Be Known
6) High Above
7) Unusual Character Profile
8) Light the Way

Bio:

STALEMATE OF WILLS was formed in 2023 by guitarist/ vocalist Derek Kovacs as a one man studio project releasing the singles “Corrode” followed then by “Subside”, but it soon became clear that Stalemate of Wills needed to become a full band.

Not long after, scene veterans Jake Morris (Bass) and Bob McSherry (drums) were quickly recruited to fill the voids. STALEMATE OF WILLS embraces an ethos of self-reliance, releasing and recording their own music and began working on an 8-song full length entitled Existence Denied, to be released in Spring of 2026 on FFTC Records, an independent label run by Kovacs.
