Quilt is a four-piece psychedelic indie rock band from Boston consisting of Anna Fox Rochinski (vocals/guitars), Shane Butler (vocals/guitars), Keven Lareau (vocals/bass) and John Andrews (vocals/drums).

[1] She "started going to DIY shows when I was 15 or 16" years old and became part of The Whitehaus Family Record scene, which led to a chance meeting with Shane Butler and Taylor McVay, who were then playing as the folk punk duo The Good Party.

[5][6] The band made their first SXSW festival appearance in March 2010,[7] followed by the first EP, Agents of Play, released on a local Bostonian label in May of the same year.

Both Butler and Rochinski graduated in June 2010 to fully concentrate on their music, while they began playing shows along the East Coast.

[1] Gallagher, as the engineer and producer, played an important role in the process and "pulled us from the murky depths of scratchy and reverby lo-fi recording up in the heights of snazzier sounds and proper vocal treatments", according to Rochinski.

[14] Having a record deal brought a gear shift in public attention for the trio, who found themselves booked on the CMJ convention in October as part of their label's showcase.

Improvisation remained an important part of the shows, with Rochinski noting "it's fun, and it balances things out nicely during a live set".

[21][22] In April 2013, the band moved to New York City to begin recording at the Mexican Summer in-house studio together with producer Jarvis Taveniere.

[23] The band continued to play live shows and embarked on their first headlining tour in October 2013 in support of the single "Arctic Shark", released in the same month.
