Info for shelter

SILMUS’ second album ‘shelter’ seems to harbor the sounds of times long gone by, seemingly brought forth by nature itself. At the same time, these organic atmospheres are manipulated through elusive pitch shifters, smooth synthesizers and many another mystery machines.

Listening to the first track of ‘shelter’ is like being the first to enter a magnificent cavern, with its resounding layers of drones, reverby guitars and mere memories of pianos, played long ago. Echoes of ever changing water drops accompany you on your descent into darkness. Suddenly, a ray of light pierces the dark, matched by a morsel of melody. A few bats flutter out, leaving you alone in blissful silence once more.

These sounds from the deep bring to mind the music of Sigur Ros and perhaps Stars of the Lid. Then again, these atmospheres turn out less abstract than expected from time to time, turning into songs not unlike, say, Craig Armstrong’s or Sylvain Chauveau’s.

SILMUS is Gert Boersma, born and raised in Joure, living in Leeuwarden (Friesland).
