Swedish-American cinematic ambient duo Silent Skies drifts off into Scandinavian melancholy and cinematic soundscapes with the release of their luminescent label debut, their sophomore record, Nectar, out now via Napalm Records. In 2017, the paths of the Swedish progressive band Evergrey's vocalist Tom S. Englund and multi-instrumentalist Vikram Shankar (Redemption) 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.
To accompany the release of Nectar, Silent Skies' emotive third single "Let It Hurt" has been released together with an intense official music video. "Let It Hurt" addicts with an intimate intro possible due to Tom S. Englund's heartbreaking vibrato, quickly developing dramatically and wrapping the listener in a multitude of evocative sounds, blending cinematic strings and piano with hooky modern vocals.
Vikram Shankar on "Let It Hurt": "To celebrate the release of Nectar, we are thrilled to unveil this video for "Let It Hurt", directed with a subtle and artistic touch by our dear friend Patric Ullaeus. "Let It Hurt" was one of the first pieces of music written for Nectar, and its composition was a dramatic catalyst for the way the rest of the album would turn out; writing and listening back to 'Let It Hurt' gave us immediate and intuitive visions of some of the new ground Nectar was to cover. It provides a window into some of the new sonic possibilities of the record, while simultaneously harkening back to the intimate core nucleus of Silent Skies that fans know well: piano, vocals, strings, and heart-rending honesty. We hope you enjoy Nectar as much as we enjoyed making it!" Link
