Mini50 Records, the independent Edinburgh-based record label responsible for some really great releases, have recently announced the latest band to join their roster. The Silence Set are Dag Rosenqvist (who we wrote about briefly ages ago) and Johan G Winther, a pair of Gothenburg-based musicians and composers who’s mutual respect for one another led to a collaboration without boundaries. As the press release describes:
Over the course of three years, the sounds of acoustic guitar, pump organ, piano, banjo and voice were caught on tape, rearranged, processed and, coupled with other sounds and recordings, left waiting for months on end. All the while life changed, relationships ended, new life began and older lives ended. More sounds were recorded, arranged, and left to wait.
Eventually these recordings eveloved into finished tracks, and the band enlisted the expert help of Kristopher Strom, Nils Frahm and Heather Woods Broderick. Said tracks have now been packaged into a full-length LP entitled Teeth Out. You can hear the first track ‘Worry, Glory’, which sees Broderick taking on vocal duties, in the player below:
