Darkly tinged Alternative group Scream Silence release their self-titled new album, their most ambitious and accessible work to date. The gloomy, cinematic and melodic pomp of the quintet’s previous releases is used as a point of departure for a versatile and mesmerizing sonic epos that fuses elements of Gothic Rock, Indie Pop, Shoegaze, Progressive Rock, as well as subtle electronic and Metal-influences to create a cohesive work of popular art. Scream Silence display a cunning hand for catchy yet deeply moving tunes that draw the listener into the group’s sonic cosmos… and a song like “Dreamer’s Court” will hook you immediately. A Berlin-based institution has outdone itself.
