Silverhours latest offering is their debut album Madeleine Moment. It’s a project that explores sound and music to create tracks that are beautifully different. Bringing together influences from lo-fi, jazz, electronica, Silverhours also showcases his interest in the geometry of musical rhythms, creating interesting patterns and breaking musical norms. The nine-tracks take on a narrative of love, sorrow and passion represented in the music, it’s all very immersive.
Madeleine Moment as a concept was born in August of 2020, after Silverhours won Nick Cave’s online covers competition, with his version of ‘Spinning Song’ being described by Cave as a “strange, bold and emotional elevation of the original”. Despite starting life as a DIY Lo-Fi project, it has evolved into something far larger.
Silverhours also mentions that his home studio opened the door to “endless possibilities, to tweak the knobs of my pedals and synths and get me that lo-fi vibe I wanted to go for originally”.
Madeleine Moment is a debut album that is closer to the works of an established artist experimenting in ways they have never before. What this leaves us with is a seriously impressive project that is sure to gain critical acclaim as it rises through the ranks. It brings together so many different styles of music, taking their familiarity and turning it into something truly inventive, truly innovative, truly new, alongside sentimental and evocative aspects. It’s so personal, yet the long list of musician collaborations allow ideas to reach their full potential.
