Silver Summit - Silver Summit

That Silver Summit is a New York band is undeniable. The darkness and frenetic claustrophobia of NYC ebbs from every sonic pore of the band's debut long player. New York City is nothing, though, if not trace elements of the globe's disparate cultures (made uniform through Earth and steel and flesh). Multiculturalism informs Silver Summit's sonic character as much as the blackened brownstone facades, hidden public gardens and slumbering subway commuters must. Where else then to seek unmitigated conflations of metal, dream-pop, oriental, Bush folk and other harmonious dissonances than in the band's own musings? The musical layers are infinite, as are the listener's chances at discovery.
