A Silent Film - Debut single 'Sleeping Pills'

March 29, 2008, 05:12 PM

A Silent Film are set to release their debut single ‘Sleeping Pills’ through independent record label Xtra Mile Recordings. ‘Sleeping Pills’ is the first track to be taken from their Sam Williams (Supergrass, The Noisettes, Dogs Die In Hot Cars…) produced debut album; The City That Sleeps. Their music is a piano and guitar led mix brimming with energetic drumming and haunting melodies characterised by lyrics that reveal deeply introspective fictional stories. Their sound is a cross between Editors and Coldplay drawing influence from Massive Attack.

‘Sleeping Pills’ will be released as a digital download and will be available through iTunes and other major DSPs on 28th April.

Last year the Oxfordians were handpicked by Emily Eavis and Huw Stephens to play the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury Festival where they delivered an outstanding set; being hailed as one of the highlights of the weekend. The band’s stunning self-produced debut EP ‘The Projectionist’ followed a few weeks later along with sold-out performances at the Ultimate Picture Palace Cinema and Soho Revue Bar. The song ‘Six Feet of Rope and Revenge has also been chosen to feature with the band performing live in a screen adaptation of ‘The Butterfly Tattoo’ by Philip Pullman due for release later this year.

In support of the release of ‘Sleeping Pills’ A Silent Film will be bringing their incredible live show to the following venues:

3rd April - Water Rats Theatre, London
12th April - Oxford Academy: Transformation Club Night, Oxford
12th July - 2000Trees Festival Cheltenham
