By Chvad SB, on January 6th, 2017 So what if I told you there was a band that paired near-perfect indie pop hooks with goofy disco-laden EDM? The Qualia doesn’t do that, exactly, but it tends to veer between those sounds. In any case, the hooks remain near-perfect.
Some albums are pure enjoyment from the start to the finish, easy on the […]

By Chvad SB, on July 1st, 2011 The QualiaMemorial Gore (EP)WTII Records
Sometimes musical genres undermine the artistic range of bands, and other times they are more ambiguous than they are specific and fail to accurately classify the band’s music. The Qualia find themselves under the vast umbrella of Electro/Pop, which invokes an all too common expectation for what the music will […]

How did we ever function without Wikipedia? According to the ultimate resource on everything the word Qualia is a term used by philosophers to describe the subjective quality of conscious experiences. It is not, as I had initially suspected, […]
By Chvad SB, on April 12th, 2010 The Qualia is an electro-pop band from New York. They got in contact with us after we posted some stuff from The Diogenes Club, because they have a remix from them. As we are already gathering, The Diogenes Club only do ‘very good’ and this remix is exactly that.

Den Brooklyn-baserade elektropop-trion The Qualia har under en tid svävat någonstans i utkanten av NMB-radarn, främst på grund av brist på mp3or. Från och med nu befinner de sig dock precis mitti, för idag kom äntligen lite nya låtar som er käre björn ska få dela med sig av. Anledningen till att det nu […]
