Recorded at PortlandРІР‚в„ўs Jackpot Studio by Mr. These themes have become necessary inclusions for the band, and on Featuring РІР‚СљBirdsРІР‚СњР’В they are even accompanied by notions of love renewed.Р’В Quasi turns a new leaf? They can do it because you dearly want themР’В to, and because no one else has ever dared to try. Sam Coomes (formerly of Heatmiser, Donner Party) and Janet Weiss (also of Sleater-Kinney) are the only two individuals alive who can make it ok to be happy about singing along to the ideas of suicide and lost love. They have succeeded in writing a perfect pop album while maintaining the tension and dramatic joy of their past releases. On this, QuasiРІР‚в„ўs third album (theirР’В second for Up Records), QuasiРІР‚в„ўs transformation is possibly complete.

Recorded in a cold, Portland, OR basement during the winter of 1996, R&B Transmogrification serves as an almost exact representation of the duoРІР‚в„ўs amazing live sound. On R&B TransmogrificationР’В Quasi comes further out of the Northwest woodwork with an album that rolls some of the most intense pop numbers up with the saddest lyrics youРІР‚в„ўve ever heard. Despite Sam joining Heatmiser and Janet taking over the drums for Sleater-Kinney, Sam and Janet continued to develop Quasi, eventually crafting enough songs for a new album. After the dissolution of Motorgoat in 1993, Sam and Janet continued as Quasi, which grew from a side project that took in songs that didnРІР‚в„ўt fit underР’В MotorgoatРІР‚в„ўs roof into a larger part of Sam and JanetРІР‚в„ўs lives, eventually resulting in QuasiРІР‚в„ўs 1995 debut, Early Recordings. QuasiРІР‚в„ўs (pronounced KWAH-zee) primary instrumentalist Sam Coomes played in the Donner Party before starting Motorgoat in 1992 with drummer Janet Weiss.
