Critically acclaimed by the press [a bit of a redundant statement] and having been compared to and equally inspired by artists such as Elliot Smith, Tim Buckley, Flaming Lips and Sunny Day Real Estate; they combine simple and sweet melodies with sharp and powerful bursts of emotion via instrument and vox; leaving even the most stoic of listeners with goose bumps and a smile [We gave this a test and it was ok but no goose bumps... we did get a smirk out of it]. Allow yourself to be taken into the weird and wondrous world created by The Silent Years, a very special band indeed.
