Info: | Statues & Ornaments shows a
slight shift in direction for Silent Runners. Featuring a heavier
emphasis on post-punk influences and more drum driven songs, without
compromising the iconic mix of synths, guitars and deep vocals the band
became known for. The album title refers to the ideas and ideologies we
as a society put on a pedestal. The same ones that also lead us to
rising inequality, climate crisis and mass extinction. It speaks of our
inability to explore hopeful new alternatives, while revering the
nostalgic embrace of the old ways. Statues & Ornaments was
recorded in Volver Studio (NL), mixed by Ben Greenberg (USA –
Black Marble, Second Still, Soft Kill, et al.) and mastered by Pete
Maher (UK - U2, The Killers, Maximo Park, et al.). Mixing dark synths
with post-punk influences, Silent Runners (Amsterdam, NL) made a name
for themselves on stage with energetic shows that are both compelling
and strangely hypnotizing. Minimalist guitars, deep bass riffs and
steady drum beats, going from an almost krautrock-like drive to all out
bombastic. All topped with classic synths and a powerful voice, soaked
in reverb. In 2017 Silent Runners released their debut album The
Directory, which reached underground audiences all around the globe.
The release was followed by a series of very well received shows on
festivals such as Wave Gotik treffen, Grey Days and Wavefest. Shows
that cemented the band’s energetic live reputation in the
underground post punk scene. |
