Silent Skies drifts off into Scandinavian melancholy and cinematic soundscapes with the release of their luminescent label debut, 'Nectar', out next year on Friday 4th February via Napalm Records, and with the release of their first single and today's captivating Video Of The Day, 'Taper', the Swedish-American ambient duo present an intense composition that blends a unique, charismatic voice and strong melodic sensibility into a profound musical soundscape resembling film music. In 2017, the paths of the Swedish Progressive band Evergrey’s vocalist Tom S. Englund and multi-instrumentalist Vikram Shankar crossed fatefully. Both artists set themselves free from limitations to captivate their listener with a soulful ten-track offering, produced by Englund and Shankar themselves and mixed/mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios.Indeed, 'Taper' evokes both a tender embrace and isolation, with the duo's intertwined melodies standing strong against the setting sun of a human’s broken heart.
