Fifteen Quiet Years is a compilation album by the Louisville post-rock band Rodan. Featuring several rarities and the band's 1994 Peel Session, the project would be curated by Jeff Mueller and Jason Noble, serving as a memorial to the latter musician whom died in 2012.[1][2] It would be released via Quarterstick Records in 2013, with all songs remastered by Bob Weston, Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller. For a limited time, Fifteen Quiet Years would also contain a digital download with ten bonus live songs, all of which remastered by Kevin Ratterman at The Funeral Home. The compilation would be re-issued on Bandcamp in 2020, omitting the BBC Session.
Fifteen Quiet Years would garner widespread critical acclaim upon release, with praise the likes of Pitchfork,[3] PopMatters,[4] Paste Magazine,[5] Orlando Weekly[6] and New Artillery[7] to name a few.
