The Silent Years - The Globe

The Silent Years is an American indie rock band formed by a group of long-time friends. On August 25, the group will release their latest record entitled The Globe through Defend Music.

"We were watching the film 'Powers of 10' which they used to show in middle school science classes. In the film, the camera starts out, framed on a couple having a picnic. Every 10 seconds, the field of view expands by a power of ten — the picnic becomes Chicago, Chicago becomes North America, and soon you’re seeing the Earth in the context of its solar system. This got us thinking about the similarities between mankind and all other components of the universe. An atom is to a cell, as a cell is to a man, as man is to the Earth, as the Earth is to the universe, etc." - a comment by vocalist Josh Epstein adapted from Defend Music.

Rich with melodic scoops, tasty rhythmic riffs, fantastic vocal job, attractive drums and percussion, the bottom line, you would not want to miss this one cos' I personally, strongly suggest this album.

Favorable tracks include The World's Worst Birthday Gift, On Our Way Home, Climb On My Back, The Axiom and Black Hole.
