Sillk – String-laden alt-folk from Cork
What you may need to know…
01. Sillk are a Leeside three-piece, and while at their heart a folk band, exhibit noirish/chamber-pop tendencies in places, due mainly to a dense undercarriage of cello and violin in their tunes.
02. The band’s debut E.P. Time is a Clock, recorded by Elastic Sleep/African Fiction man Chris Somers, releases this week on CD and digital download.
03. Streaming above is the video new single Switchblades Don’t Sleep, taken from the extended-player, directed by Eadaoin O’Donoghue and shot by Enrique Carcinero.
04. Launching tomorrow night at the Village Hall venue on Patrick’s Quay, Cork at 8.30. More info here.
Thoughts: A dichotomy of light-hearted play and heavy subject matter, balanced, bearing a wide, irreverent grin.
I like folk music. This is just a few folks playing bad music. Seriously wtf is that noise coming out of her mouth.
Is it too arty for ye? Cmon Broadsheet, let’s be more mainstream for Anoma please.
‘Arty’?
