The Silent City is the second in a series of three recordings, following on from the critically acclaimed The Howling Fire in July 2011. Produced by Myles Mumford and suitably committed to the warmth of analogue tape, the new recordings represent an organic evolution for the band, infusing more indie and classic pop influences into their signature sound.
The release also sees the band augmenting their number with guest musicians adding flourishes on oboe, trombone, trumpet, violin and cello. In addition, Melbourne swing sisters The Nymphs have also contributed their luscious vocal harmonies to the set.
“…a band that refused to be pigeonholed or put into one box as far as their very ambitious soundscape and musical vision is concerned. This truly is an EP that shows the band in a wonderfully fearless light as far as their musical journey and direction are concerned.”
