The first full-length CD of this new wave band from the Netherlands is packaged
into a nicely crafted digipack. Silence is Sexy plays an original mixture of
noisy postpunk, new wave and shoegaze music that quickly reminds you of Joy
Division, Editors and Slowdive.
Silence is Sexy has developed rapidly by
playing more than 100 shows in two year's time, among which Metropolis
and Parkpop, and by winning various talent runs. They know how to grab the
attention with good songs, forceful vocals and a beautiful postpunk guitarsound
with lots of reverb. 'Hurt' slightly reminds of Placebo because
of the way Hendrik-Jan uses his voice in this song, but the compelling
guitarplay gives this song an original twist. Hypnotising guitarplay and violins
give songs such as als 'Us', 'Pilots' and 'Leave' some
extra class. Silence is Sexy knows how to vary with their sound, with the
instrumentation with violins, cello and hammond organ that creates a very beautiful
sound. The album closes with 2 great songs '(Are
We Losing) Faith' and 'Sympathy'. Having perfected the 'post-new
wave' sound, the album is a treat to listen to. Einst?rzende Neubaten
fans will be familiar with title of the band, as it comes from their 2000 release
of the same name. 'Everything
You Should Know' is worth a listen and should be a worthwhile addition to any
music collection.
