Viennese chanteuse Silvia Ryder offers a glimpse of her project My Violence and it’s self-titled debut album with “20,000 Dashboard Angels,” a poetic production that draws inspiration from Wim Wenders' movie Himmel über Berlin, leading us into a sonic world built on haunting vocals and atmospheric soundscapes.
A reflective production written from the perspective of a guardian angel the song taps into the frustrations about the self-destructive nature of human. The track which accompanied and elevated by a visual is made even more poignant by featuring a Rainer Maria Rilke poem narrated by Austrian actor Oskar Werner.
The debut album which is set to be an exploration of a cinematic tapestry of distinctive soundscapes filled with expansive music and binaural layers, seamlessly transforms from lyrical narratives into a "concept" album, centered around both real and imaginary divergent protagonists – with this latest track making for an alluring sneak peek.
