about

When The Silent Service got stuck in an abandoned factory trying to capture an atmosphere related to Gary Numan, Bauhaus and Krautrock, producer Kieran Kennedy relocated the project to a forest in Ireland and recorded birds singing.
He kept talking about Blue In Heaven, New Order and how women ought to take over the world.

Through the reverberating bang and clatter echoes a mantra of repetitive patterns, short, dirty but immediate.
Oscillating between psychedelic and industrial elements the music will surprise you with a fluorescent glow in the dark effect.

The imagery is at times Orwellian and depicts a Phillip K. Dick state of mind in "Shadowland Reflections".
Minimalist words conceal and reveal a world in kaleidoscope vision.

"In the future dystopia will need to hurry to keep up with reality."
