Silent Planet have announced their new record When the End Began, which will be released later this year on Solid State Records. Ahead of the record, the band have released two singles, “Vanity of Sleep“ and “Northern Fires” which can be heard now below.
Produced by Will Putney, When the End Began captures the band’s aggressive live sound while retaining their more exploratory ambient elements. Along with Garrett Russell‘s poignant lyrics, the band had a plethora of talent and skills to draw on for the new record. From the dynamic range of bassist Thomas Freckleton, to the progressive drumming of Alexrene Camarena and the diverse arrangements of primary song arc hitect and guitarist Mitchell Stark, Silent Planet has managed their most deliberate, cohesive effort to date.
Speaking to the new record, Silent Planet said, “We want to connect and grow. These song are our way of giving back to so many of those who have given to us. On tour, we’ve met people isolated by bigotry, marred by addiction, scarred by loss – these songs are for them and anyone else grappling with these situations.”
“Hope doesn’t have to be an abstract concept,” they continued. “It can be an embodied reality.”
