Radio Silence - Plak

ENGLISH

'Radio Silence' is the sound of a band fully comfortable in their unique sonic skin. And if an album is simply a snapshot of a work in progress, then this is a perfect portrait, capturing Neil Cowley and his co-conspirators in the right place at the right time. This is the record that he has been working towards, documenting the magical empathy of a unit, who, with thousands of hours under their belt have learnt to breathe and listen as one. Described by Cowley as music for the 'heart and feet', 'Radio Silence' shifts effortlessly between moments of poetic grace, rip-roaring riffs and Chaplinesque ditties that reminds us that for all his many influences, Cowley's music is as British as 'Test Match Special', warm beer or a bacon sarnie. Originally released on compact disc and download in April 2010, 'Radio Silence' has proved pinnacle in a hectic year for Neil, in which he has recorded extensively for Adele's new single and album, recorded the theme tune to a worldwide Nokia 'Cubes' advertising campaign, recorded a live session at the famous Maida Vale Studios for BBC Radio 2, toured internationally, drawn mass critical acclaim and sold out his homecoming appearance at London Jazz Festival amongst others. 'Radio Silence', as Naim's biggest-selling record of 2010, has been delicately crafted for vinyl at Abbey Road Studios from 24bit masters and pressed using the famous EMI 1400 Press at The Vinyl Factory in Middlesex, UK. Recording: September 2009 at State of the Ark Studios, London and August 2009 at Real World Studios, Wiltshire (UK)
