Fresh Pop from Silent James

November 22, 2019 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Silent James first (pop)ped up on my music listening rotation back in 2017 when they released Someday I’ll Write a Nice Love Story via Discos de Kirlian. Next week they’ll release their third LP, Where Have All My Friends Gone, so they dropped one last tune our way. This one has this natural pop bounce to it; it’s this weird world where you can envision British Invasion bubblegum shaking hands with the likes of Jens Lekman. Both nostalgic and pop-forward, the group always has these captivating pop nuggets that make their music hard to ignore…don’t break that trend, listen below!

Soaring Pop Number from Silent James

August 23, 2017 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

I spent the majority of yesterday browsing through Discos de Killian‘s catalog, and really got stuck on this bouncing bit of lofty pop from Silent James. It’s playful, as you’ll hear in the pianos dancing notes, but I’m particularly fond of the natural joyousness that seems to pervade, even as the notes are fleshed out smoothly by a forlorn trumpet sound. There’s just not enough of pop music that sounds like this, sadly. The label’s just released Someday I’ll Write a Nice Love Story, which could be the perfect soundtrack to your hump day.
