Le Pot Pourri Questionnaire: Quetzolcoatl

Quetzolcoatl is the solo project of Irishman Tim Hurley. He also was formerly in the excellent duo Bone Cloud and currently runs the Leaf Trail imprint. Hurley has had releases on a ton of great labels like Ikuisuus and Abandon Ship. His music is like a beautiful sludge flowing through evergreen forests, consuming everything in its path. There's an organic quality to it that so much drone music doesn't have. It's mesmerizing stuff and only seems to get better with age.
