Quarters - Radio Silence
“Radio Silence” sees New York's Quarters holding back just long enough for the guitar to claim the final word.
Quarters, the New York three-piece formerly known as Quarters of Change — Benjamin Orlen Roter, Jasper Gee Harris, and Attila Lee Anather — return with “Radio Silence,” a track that unfolds with quiet confidence and a sense of restraint that feels increasingly rare.
“Radio Silence” opens on thick bass and steady drumlines, holding its breath for nearly half its runtime before the distorted guitar fully takes over. When it finally does, around the three-minute mark, it doesn’t just decorate the song — it becomes the song. It’s not classic-rock grandiosity. It recalls that early-80s moment when bands let their guitars stretch and carry the emotional weight on their own. Here, the vocals don’t return. The instrument finishes the thought.
Frontman Ben Roter shares:
“'RADIO SILENCE' finds clarity in exhaustion, mapping the collapse of trust in a relationship onto a listening world in crisis, overwhelmed by noise.”
With their upcoming album, I HOPE THIS ISN’T THE END OF THE WORLD, on the horizon, “Radio Silence” shows a band willing to let tension build — and to trust the payoff.
