Release:
End Of The Pier, By Sir Silence And The Hush
On
the 14thof March 2015, Sir Silence And The Hush are set to release
a digital 4 track EP, End OF The Pier on Hushland Records.
End
of The Pier EP is a collection of toe-tapping, post
apocalyptic folk-rock-roots tunes that have drawn their inspiration from the
imagined world of Charlie Hush, the main protagonist in Bill Taylor-Beales
debut novel Kite.
The songs chart themes of ‘End Times’ both
in terms of unending rain and devastation through climate change, as well a ‘tongue
in cheek’ biblical narrative. As a character, Charlie Hush finds himself on the
end of the South Parade Pier, with a hotel copy of a Gideon Bible and a pack of
tarot cards conversing with the dead souls of those who accidently or
deliberately never made it back to shore. He later finds himself to be a victim
of a terrifying climate induced event creating a personal apocalyptic scenario
to add weight to his many imagined versions. The lyrics are written from the
perspective of Charlie’s world with his folk, rabble roots band.
Recorded,
mixed and mastered by Bill and Rachel Taylor-Beales
in their Hushland studio, the EP features an eclectic array of musicians
including Paul Gray (former Damned/UFO/Eddie and The Hotrods) on bass.
Lucy Rivers provides violin and Stacey
Blythe plays accordion. Their folk-roots melodies crossing over in dialogue and
at times almost playfully jousting each other. Percussion from Shane Beales,
and a guest appearance on tambourine from Melbourne based Kim Beales serve to make
the collection into a family affair, with Bill and Rachel Taylor-Beales
supplementing the rest of the instrumentation and vocal arrangements.
On the 14th of March 2015 Bill
Taylor-Beales will be celebrating his 50th birthday and has decided
to release End Of The Pier to coincide with this!
Please accept his invitation to join in the
celebrations by downloading End Of The Pier from www.sirsilenceandthehush.bandcamp.com
