The Quartertones Album Review This Magazine The Quartertones - Hidden In Plain Sight [URBNET Records] By Thomas Quinlan  Anyone who doubts the validity of hip hop as a truly musical movement should check out this debut disc by Torontošs Quartertones. There are a couple of rap verses and soulful hooks in the mix, but tracks like the euphoric ŗHands Up˛ donšt need any vocal adornment. The Quartertones make judicious use of live horns, guitar, bass and turntable scratches to create a seductive, jazz-flavoured sound thatšs funky enough to engage with but relaxed enough for chilling out. By bending genre conventions and letting their instruments do most of the talking, The Quartertones show that hip hop is about more than just words. | ||||||
