The Silence - Nine Suns, One Morning [CD]

Breathein through your nose, out through your mouth. Feel the energy passing through your body, from your head, down through your legs to the earth. Turn your heart to the skyand realize that a new album from The Silence is nigh! Nine Suns, One Morning is the third album from The Silence since their formation in Tokyo in July of 2014. This is an amazing outpouring of music in a very short time! The reason for this is that The Silence transpose ecstatic moments from the rock and roll dreamscape into all-new, living music. Not only is there a lot of music in the ether yet to be realized, but The Silence are very good at this process! Despite the speed with with these albums have been dispatched over the course of just 21 months, each collection is gathered with an expert ear turned to the listening experience. Nine Suns, One Morning is one of the most explosive, far-ranging albums you will hear in 2016. The Silence employ a great variety of instruments with tremendous discipline, always in service of the songs, which share a goal of finding new lines of expression, no matter where the starting point. This makes for incredibly exciting progressive rock music! While Nine Suns, One Morning is a fully-developed album of modern rock and roll that moves fluidly between ALL styles of music, many listeners are still unaware of The Silence, who have yet to tour outside of Japan, but are anxious to do so (as you will be when you hear their new music!). Masaki Batoh is the leader of the group, which he formed after dissolving the legendary Ghost in 2014. Forming the sound of The Silence, Batoh draws upon the indigenous and the mysterious aspects of the spiritual world, as exemplified by western rock, blues and British traditional music. He is supported in his endeavor by keyboardist and Bulgarian Tambula player (and original Ghost member) Kazuo Ogino; jazz saxophonist Ryuichi Yoshida; bassist Jan Stigter and drummer Futoshi Okano (Subvert Blaze, Hijokaidan). These men bring together a combined understanding of different values of music, literature, film, culture, psychology, philosophy and the spirit world that informs and expands everything they play together as they work to transcend the illusions of music that have existed until now. For those following the story, the previous album, Hark The Silence, emphasized the solvent quality of open air and the liquidity of free-flowing improvisation from which songs might eventually appear. Nine Suns, One Morning departs from the brooding gothic skies under which Hark the Silences slow-boiling jams unfolded, revisiting the song-based fixation that marked The Silences debut album. The difference this time is that the deep space accessed on Hark The Silence strikes into the new songs, infusing them with wider reach and greater cosmic power than before. The Silence are evolving into something new even as we listen to them! The song orientation of Nine Suns, One Morning is further expressed by the inclusion of a 7"
