ECHOES OF SILENCE - With The Sky Below Us and the Ground Above [2013]

Influenced by the likes of Explosions in the Sky, Mono, Yndi Halda, Sunlight Ascending, Lowercase Noises, and This Will Destroy You, Echoes of Silence was formed in late 2012 with the intention of creating a unique blend of the sounds found in the Post-Rock world. The Echoes of Silence sound focuses on creating earth-shaking crescendos that are atmospheric, dreamy, and dramatic.

With The Sky Below Us and the Ground Above tells the story of life and all of its ups and downs. The album features ambient organ-filled swells backed by ringing guitars as well as more darker selections which feature a wall of sound made up of distorted guitars and heart-wrenching strings.

JAMBALAYA WINDOW AND MIDWEST LOVER - Ambivalent [2013]

Jambalaya Window and the Midwest Lover is a solo project, mixing elements of experimental metal, Lob-Rock and electronica. It aims to explore a strong melancholic guideline through various musical forms, with a clear emphasis on crustacean wildlife. This takes Jambalaya’s soundscapes from dense frenetic metal to ambient electronic atmospheres, making it hard to pinpoint it as a given style, and probably equally hard to enjoy it.
