Sanctuary+ by Silent Forum

Sanctuary + is a complete collection of Silent Forum’s output from 2016/17.

Brief Collapses EP – tracks A3, A4, A5, B3
Recorded in December 2015, Silent Forum’s debut EP marked a darker shift in tone for the band, away from the more buoyant Indie Rock produced under their previous guise How I Faked The Moon Landing. Anxious and percussive vocals backed by buzzsaw guitars make up the first release under the name Silent Forum.

2017 singles - tracks B1, B2
Referred to as the band’s “fun singles” Trust and Limbo saw Silent Forum branch out into less harsh, weirder territory. Trust is a rock song in three parts of varying intensity whilst Limbo sees the band branch off into a more idiosyncratic Indie-noir atmosphere.

Sanctuary EP - tracks A1, A2, B4, B5
Recently released, the band’s second EP looks thematically at relationships: both personal and fictional, of love and of religion. The vocals here are more melodically driven than previous efforts and the instruments lock into grooves which are pushed to their logical emotional extremes over the course of each track’s run time. Hosanna is the culmination of the lyrical and instrumental themes of the 4 track EP and spans over 8 and a half minutes of building sonic intensity.

The Cassette will be out on Friday 24th November in an initial run of 100.
