Pencil Embrace the Beautiful and the Uncanny on ‘Silent Corners’

London’s pencil has a gift for the in-between spaces, the moments where something gentle becomes jagged, where dreaminess gives way to dread. Their new single, "Silent Corners", taken from the upcoming “Bohemian Clutter” EP, is a stunning encapsulation of that duality, unfurling like a half-remembered dream before dissolving into something much more unsettling.

Built on a hypnotic pulse, the track carries a quiet intensity, its textures layering with the precision of a dance track. Acoustic strums drift in and out of focus, met with violin lines that quiver like light through a dusty window, while Kamran Khan’s hushed vocal delivery adds an eerie intimacy. There’s an ever-present sense of motion "Silent Corners" doesn’t follow traditional verse-chorus structures so much as it sways, pulses, and expands, always shifting underfoot.

The production, handled by Polly Mackey (Art School Girlfriend) and mixed by Luciano Rossi (Mui Zyu), gives every element space to breathe, allowing the track to grow organically before it inevitably unravels. That final collapse, where the steady momentum crumbles into something more chaotic, is where Silent Corners feels most alive, confirming pencil’s ability to balance beauty and unease with remarkable control.

With “Bohemian Clutter” on the horizon and a growing reputation as a must-see live act, Pencil is carving out its own space within London’s live music landscape. Their take on melancholic, melody-driven indie feels like a breath of fresh air in a scene still shaking off its post-punk revival phase. If “Silent Corners” is any indication, this band isn’t just flirting with the surreal; they’re making a home in it.
