Silent Mass has just shared another enigmatic and important musical release. Entitled "Land of Heart's Desire", the song is off of their upcoming full length debut album The Great Chaos out this summer solstice.
With "Land of Heart's Desire", Silent Mass pens a song all about our many dreams and what happens to those around us when we don't fulfill these aspirations. Even though we don't mean to hurt the ones we care about, the results of our own avoidance, negative behaviors and various escapism patterns can often impact our relationships with not only ourselves but others. She sings, "Wrapped in a shadow / Left in a desert to lie / Through fire, I wait." Musically, "Land of Heart's Desire" is a dark-hued sonic embrace complete with reverb heavy guitars, thick drums and shadowy sonics. Ammo's dreamy and soul-drenched vocals entice and the song transports listeners to an otherworldly time and place.
Silent Mass is the musical project headed by instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Ammo Bankoff. The collective blends shoegaze, post-punk and nostalgic rock for an all encompassing and intriguing listen. The music is a fever dream and an important one with Silent Mass often writing about existential narratives and philosophical yet pragmatic life experiences. Take a listen to "Land of Heart's Desire" now and add this gem to your favorite playlist.
