Silverbacks – ‘The Pink Tide’

Dublin based indie/garage outfit Silverbacks have returned with a new single ‘The Pink Tide’.

This latest offering adds to what’s been a pretty productive year so far; releasing their second album, Hot Bath, back in January and Record Store Day single, ‘Through A Curtain’, in April. New track ‘The Pink Tide’ continues to plough a similar furrow; however their the slanted Pavement inspired sound does a dance with the post-punk tones of Television and a touch of Talking Heads. Cliched as it sounds, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. It retains their lo-fi garage roots, honing and refining their sound with buzzing exuberance, some scintillating riffs and guitar work and when the solo kicks in at the 2:30 mark, it is sheer magic. All a rather perfect backdrop for Dan O’Kelly’s low-toned and world weary vocals, which remain an undoubted highlight. Great stuff as per usual.

You can listen to ‘The Pink Tide’ Below, and also, Silverbacks’ latest album is available here, you just gotta ‘pay what you like’.

Silverbacks – ‘Fad 1995’

Silverbacks 'Hot Bath'

Dublin based indie/garage quartet Silverbacks, are but a few weeks away from releasing their second album, Hot Bath. which may prove an end of, or new year treat, depending when it arrives.

Their debut album Lotion – released last year as a name-your-price deal on Bandcamp – is rough, ragged and grainy lo-fi garage rock, with wall-to-wall blasts of noise and fuzz. Taken from their forthcoming new record, ‘Fad 1995’, offers an interesting insight to what we can expect. It’s a touch more restrained, introverted and thoughtful (the lyrics in particular). ‘Fad 1995’ retains their lo-fi garage roots, honing and refining their sound with a mix of lethargy and frustration, which is all the better for allowing Dan O’Kelly’s low-toned and world weary vocals come to the fore. A thoroughly enthralling introduction to their forthcoming LP, which is hopefully with us rather sharpish.

For now? You can stream ‘Fad 1995’ below.
