5...according to our Phil on Thu 30 Aug, 2007.

Qui....new album on Ipecac. 'Love's Miracle' is its name and its a total stonker. David Yow (Scratch Acid, The Jesus Lizard) joined these mommas a while back and here are the first accessible fruits from their loins. Man this is good. I saw these with Ant at Supersonic and they were great. It was fantastic to see David Yow on stage again. He's looking older and he doesn't seem as unpredictable (when I saw him playing with Jesus Lizard he got his weird shaped cock out...). What amazed me more than anything that despite the fact he really can't sing he commands your attention and fills the surrounding noise intelligently. What we have here is a quality album of that early 90's Chicago style rock played now. It's quite experimental with the song structures as well so some of the songs don't do what you think. There's some great Jesus Lizard style guitars in there. Damned this rocks. Long hail David and his new merry band of music friends...- Phil

Qui was founded in 2000 by drummer/vocalist Paul Christensen and guitarist/vocalist Matt Cronk in Los Angeles, CA. Since debuting in LA in early 2001 and the release of their first full-length album, Baby Kisses, (Heart of a Champion) in 2003, they have maintained a prodigious pace of both local performances and national tours. Their idiosyncratic blend of punk, noise, metal and experimental genres, coupled with their advanced musical prowess, earned them a small but dedicated following throughout the U.S.

In late 2006, Qui was joined by vocalist David Yow of The Jesus Lizard/Scratch Acid fame. Shortly thereafter, the trio released the single, "Today, Gestation" b/w "Freeze" on the Los Angeles-based Infrasonic Sound Recordings label. After a brief spring tour and two acclaimed performances at the South By Southwest music conference in Austin, TX, Qui partnered up with Mike Patton and Greg Werckman's Ipecac Recordings for their forthcoming full-length entitled Love's Miracle, scheduled for release on September 11, 2007. A full U.S. and European tour will immediately follow. Strap on your fucking knee pads.
