The Absence /// DSK 016

by Silent EM

supported by

Igni This is great. Like the perfect mix between EBM and Wave. Reminds me a bit of our own Belgian Front 242. Must have!
Favorite Track : Wraith

gargoyle Driving ! Period !
But no CD.. come on :( Favorite track: Machine.

AgathoN Seems to be a homage to a very specific 80s early ebm / coldwave sound. Took me by suprise. Its amazingly well crafted and perfectly suited for the car. Favorite track: No Rest.

about

The blistering first LP from Silent EM - 'The Absence' available on Fire or Stone vinyl.

Jean Lorenzo, known as Silent EM, fell into his solo project by chance. He had played guitar and bass in post-punk and punk bands but in 2010 he found, upon his transition to a new city, that he could create music singularly with synthesizers and drum machines. His songs explore themes of disillusion, disappointment with religious views, war and lost love utopias. The influence of 1980s French coldwave and post-punk is apparent in his craft.
