Capella

VINYL FORMAT. Limited to 500 copies, no repress! Silent Diane is a project founded by Christine Aprile & Malcolm Elijah in 2009 in an effort to, in their own words, "dedicate themselves to genuine emotion". Aprile and Elijah are seen around Austin playing with a few other bands, notably Sleep Over, but none of their projects sounds quite as colorfully bombastic, composed ambitious as this one. Aprile's voice towers over the a-side "Capella", it swells over and denies the mountains of washed out reverb one might expect. No one is hiding on either of these tracks, Silent Diane's scope and arrangement is really direct and strong here, influenced by vintage soundscapes, but still somehow totally contemporary. No doubt, it's powered by a synthetic pulse and futuristic keys but there is something undeniably human and intimate about this music and we're proud to get to share it with you!
