Swedish-American ambient duo Silent Skies drifts off into Scandinavian melancholy and cinematic soundscapes with the release of their luminescent label debut, Nectar, out on the 4th of February 2022 via Napalm Records. 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 listeners with a soulful ten-track offering, produced by Englund and Shankar themselves and mixed/mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios.
Nectar enchants with sounds like pure poetry lifting off the page and wrapping around its listener with a gentle glow as it combines the reminiscence of the likes of producers and composers such as Olafur Arnalds, Nils Frahm and Ludovico Einaudi, and bands ranging from Sigur Rós to Anathema. The balance between haunting instrumentals and vocal intensity that complement each other in perfect harmony walks a delicate line where listeners are treated to the best of both worlds.
With the release of their first single, "Taper", Silent Skies present an intense composition that blends a unique, charismatic voice and strong melodic sensibility into a profound musical soundscape resembling film music, alongside a captivating music video. "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.
Silent Skies on "Taper": "Come take a step into the universe of Nectar with "Taper" - a universal statement on the journey of the human experience through time. This is one of our favorites on the album, so allow yourself to get lost in our world as you have a first taste of Nectar." Listen and watch the official video for the delicate "Taper" below. Link
