Quaint Delusions
Postal Blowfish
Quaint Delusions' take on “Postal Blowfish,” a Guided by Voices cover, is the kind of track that leaves you wishing it lingered just a bit longer. Clocking in at just two minutes, the song barely gives you time to settle in before it’s over—but maybe that’s part of the charm.
Admittedly, I wasn’t familiar with the original, and while Guided by Voices has always been on my periphery, this version might just push me to dive deeper into their catalog. The song itself isn’t aiming for complexity, but that’s precisely why it works. Quaint Delusions seem completely in sync here, delivering a performance that’s tight, energetic, and undeniably fun. You can feel the band’s chemistry, as if they’re not just playing the song, but really enjoying themselves in the process.
The vocal delivery is on point—knowing exactly when to dial up the intensity without overdoing it. It’s that balance of excitement and control that makes the track infectious.
Ultimately, this is the kind of song you throw on repeat, a brief but satisfying jolt that keeps you coming back.
