Silverchair's Ben Gillies Releasing Solo Project Album

"Being part of something as awesome and mammoth as Silverchair required so much of myself and at times there was very little energy left for other things," Gillies said in a statement. "Now I feel as if I'm freed up and can satisfy my own creative output and get about doing what makes sense for me at this point. It's been a while in the making and I'm excited to finally share it."
