Quicksand is a 2002 album by Canadian-American alternative hip hop artist Noah23.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Most of the album's production was handled by Orphan, the Plague Language collective's most prolific producer at the time.

The track "Crypto Sporidian" was released as a split single with the track "Deadly Rays" from fellow Plague Language member Baracuda's debut album Tetragammoth.[7] Both tracks were produced by Orphan.

Critical reception[]

Allmusic gave the album a rating of 4 out of 5 stars.[8] Exclaim! wrote that the album "can rock the parties ("Digestive Enzymes"), the dance floors ("Resistance"), headphones ("Hourglass") and the art fags ("The Fall") all while maintaining a cohesive sound."[9]
