Quiet Village – ‘Rolling On’

It’s difficult to sum up Silent Movie in one fell swoop. To say that it’s sample-heavy or electronic-based would be quite misleading. It’s a hybrid album that ‘interpolates’ extended pieces from obscure records (e.g. Writing on the Wall’s ‘Buffalo’, which I posted earlier) and adds new elements to form a slow-burning collage of soul, jazz and ambient styles. The end-product is an enjoyable and immensely relaxing ride that easily adds up to something greater than the sum of its parts. Expect this to feature in plenty of end-of-year lists.

This is a beautiful video from the equally beautiful new album by Quiet Village, Silent Movie. Expect to hear me waxing lyrical all about it very soon! (N.B. There are no visuals until the 1:30 mark, so give it a chance!)
