Corridor

Corridor is the alias for multi-instrumentalist Michael Quinn’s musical project. The self-titled debut album features eight tracks of lush noise- drenched stories of passion, disillusion and coming of age in the modern world. Quinn himself, whom still in his early 20′s is considered a seasoned player in the post-hardcore scenes in Boston and Seattle. Eventually making the move to the greater Los Angeles area, Corridor wasted no time packing up the cello, guitars, samplers and keyboards in his old VW wagon and performing unforgettable live shows at dives and art galleries across the USA. Taking his influences from dark-wave Michael Gira’s Swans, midieval English folk and gypsy-jazz master, Django Reinhart, he makes sounds that only few can dare to categorize. In 2011 after doing some time with Warpaint and also becoming a key player in Swahili Blonde’s live act, Quinn reconviened in LA to assemble a proper live band to take the stage as Corridor. The new album “Real Late” comes out this Fall 2011 on Manimal.

“This is one headbanging, serious music that sounds like little else out today.” – URB

“A dizzying multi-instrumentalist, Quinn here proves most adept as a guitarist- opener “Objective Lens” fuses celestial fingerpicking and pagan rhythm..” – Q Magazine ***

“In Theory, music made this way shouldn’t sound so original. Live M Quinn’s one-man band Corridor is a dark and beautiful experiment in multi-instrumental virtuosity. He doesn’t attack the guitar and cello so much as he conquers them” – LA Record

“a cross between gloomy kraut rock, jangly indie, some classical instruments and gentler end of noise/drone” – Loud & Quiet UK
