Quintron & Miss Pussycat: New Album & Tour Dates

January 24th, 2011 | No Comments

NEW ALBUM OUT APRIL 12 VIA GONER RECORDS

Sucre Du Sauvage

Quintron and Miss Pussycat
will release their new album, Sucre Du Sauvage on April 12 via Goner Records. The album was
recorded From January 29th through May 2nd of 2010, where Quintron punched a time clock and reported to work
at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) to write and record the album in a public gallery space. Quintron’s intent
behind the museum recording studio was not to entertain visiting museum goers with any kind of performance, but
to completely ignore them and go about the business of making this record. When needed, viewers would be pulled
into the process and used for backing vocals, hand claps, grunting, etc.

During the final seven days of recording, Quintron chose to imprison himself within the museum and its surrounding
grounds – a beautiful swampy nature preserve called Â“New Orleans City Park.Â” He would roam the park by night
making field recordings and then weave them into the final mixes of the album by day.

The NOMA sessions produced literally thousands of hours of tape. The album is the cream of that crop – the
Sucre Du Sauvage. There was no post production or overdubs. When the exhibit closed, the album was
finished. All tour dates are available below.

Â“SUCRE DU SAUVAGEÂ” TRACK LIST

1. Ring The Alarm
2. Face Down in the Gutter
3. New Years Night (Boogie Children)
4. Kicked Out of Zolar X

5. Banana Beat
6. Sucre Du Sauvage

7. All Night Right of Way
