USA-based dream pop/shoegaze act Silent Mass has released a brand new single "Land Of Heart's Desire", taken from the upcoming album entitled The Great Chaos, which will be released on 16 June. Silent Mass is like chilling in a misty vale, listening to Enya while sipping red wine. Reminiscent of The Cranberries, Chelsea Wolfe, Beach House and Cranes.
Ammo of SIlent Mass comments: "I wrote the song while reading W.B. Yeats who was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Yeats wrote a play entitled 'The Land of Heart's Desire' about unfulfilled aspirations and how they can inadvertently affect those around you. This led me to consider the consequences of avoidant behaviors in my own life and uncover the source of my escapism."
Silent Mass invites disciples of post-punk, ethereal wave, shoegaze, and 90s alternative to a wailing wall of sound that is irresistible for anyone who has prayed for a darker and heavier Enya or is beckoned to embark on a sonic pilgrimage through territories claimed by The Cranberries, Chelsea Wolfe, Cranes, and Dead Can Dance. Listen for yourself. Link
