“…astute pop craftsmen who should have enough tricks up their sleeves to last beyond a group's initial burst of creativity.”- Pitchfork - 7.3
"Underground Artist of the Year 2007" – Spin Magazine
Straight of out Detroit rock city, The Silent Years are proud to announce the upcoming release of their forthcoming album The Globe, set for release on August 12th. The Silent Years will also be playing a handful of select dates across the country, starting with their New York gig at The Williamsburg Music Hall on May 16th.
The band has been in the studio throughout the harsh Detroit winter of 2007, making the final touches on The Globe with none other than Chris Coady (!!!, TV On The Radio, Grizzly Bear, Architecture in Helsinki, Blonde Redhead) on their forthcoming album due out August 12th 2008. Critically acclaimed by the press and having been compared to and equally inspired by, artists such as Elliot Smith, Tim Buckley, Flaming Lips and Sunny Day Real Estate; they combine simple and sweet melodies with sharp and powerful bursts of emotition via intrument and vox; leaving even the most stoic of listeners with goosebumps and a smile.
Please join us when they play next and allow yourself to be taken into the weird and wondrous world created by The Silent Years, a very special band indeed.
"Vocal harmonies punctuate cascading melodic hooks. Intertwining inspirations from Wilco, Radiohead and Elliott Smith, the band crafts a sound that is scientific, yet artful." -
Detroit Free Press
“(The Silent Years) straddle the line between indie rock and pop, with soaring melodies, precise guitar work and Josh Epstein's vocals (think a less anguished Gary Puckett, if you remember the '60s) folded into distinctly modern arrangements"-LA Times
"One of 10 bands out of 1,000 you should see at CMJ this year" -New York Times
"Band of the Year - 2008!" - Real Detroit Weekly
"The most engaging rock show we've ever seen. This band must be caught in an intimate setting while you still can." - Static Magazine
"The Silent Years seem to balance traditional pop-rock influences like the Beatles with some guitar-years Radiohead, poppy Sonic Youth and Wilco elements that make them more than a rehash of years past. The result is upbeat indie rock with old-school melodies and modern embellishments ". - Real Detroit Weekly
