about

Bringing the darkness back to psychedelia, QUIET MAN (formerly God Root) is anything but quiet. The sludge-infused kaleidoscopic debut album, The Starving Lesson is as political and ecologically bent as it is emotionally and spiritually compelling. “It’s hard to write about anything else when you see what is happening to the planet and to our community,” the band states.

“This isn’t rainbows and sunshine psych, this is peaking on acid in a car accident shit,” the band states of the album. “We want the music, especially live, to be a more physical sensory experience. I think music has the power to change the physiology of a person and we really strive to give people a psychedelic experience and sense of catharsis through the performance.”

The soundtrack to the self-extinction of man, The Starving Lesson is a stark proclamation of the inevitable end.

The beginning of the end, what will take root once we are gone?
