| The Silent Years acclaimed new album 'The Globe' gets it's UK release in Summer 2009 through Gift Music.The first single Climb On Your Back will come in late July but if you cant wait there is also a free track available at www.giftmusic.uk.com, so go fill your boots.
Produced by Chris Coady (of TV On The Radio, Blonde Redhead, Grizzly Bear and !!! fame) and picking at the darkened americana heartstrings of fellow travelers like Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev and Arcade Fire, the Detroit based band have built upon their Spin Magazine “Underground Artist Of The Year” accolade to deliver an album of harmony and wonder. Described as thoughtful, edgy, orchestral and luxuriant, these songs reach gloriously upward - simultaneously immediate and timeless: a "panoramic scene... endlessly open arms and room enough to breathe big and deep" (Daytrotter). 'The Globe' title is itself a metaphor at play, a symbol of scale in each direction, as the songs shift naturally from the microscopic to the universal.
The Silent Years are already gathering UK support from Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1, with full singles and album release to follow in Summer 2009.
