Amsterdam post punk/dark synth band Silent Runners have announced the release of their new full-length album 'Statues & Ornaments'.
The 11-track album was recorded in Volver Studio (NL), mixed by Ben Greenberg (USA - Black Marble, Second Still, Soft Kill), mastered by Pete Maher (UK - U2, The Killers, Maximo Park) and will be out on June 3 via Cold Transmission. Pre-order it here.
"Statues & Ornaments" shows a slight shift in direction for Silent Runners. Featuring a heavier emphasis on post-punk influences and more drum driven songs, without compromising the iconic mix of synths, guitars and deep vocals the band became known for.
UPDATE 25/04/2022: "Perfect Place to Hide" is our new Single of the Week!
Its title refers to the ideas and ideologies we as a society put on a pedestal. The same ones that also lead us to rising inequality, climate crisis and mass extinction. It speaks of our inability to explore hopeful new alternatives, while revering the nostalgic embrace of the old ways.
