awww so lovely June 16, 2008
Quiet Village manage to release the most accomplish debut of the year. This album is the best soundtrack to a movie never made and hopefully the directors that counts will give the chaps a call (Quentin are you reading?). This reminds me more of Morricone that Radio Slave (Matt Edwards is half of QV), so techno fan watch out. This is the best balearic/soundtrack album you will buy... in an enormous long time.

All so very occasionally you listen to something that really measures up to the hype that is afforded it. Silent Village's debut Silent Movie does just that.
This is an imperious mix of smokey cinema seascapes - check out the calm, languid opener Victoria's secret and addictive, funky bounce of Pacific rhythm. The opener burns into the intrepid bass of Circus of Horror's - it's the soundtrack to a cop series with a soul. "Free Rider" is again so calm, poised, every beat in the right place.
"Broken Promises" has you gently swaying from side to side, lost in a dream. So many ideas, so many possibilities - the record branches into psych rock with "Pillow Talk" and "Gold Rush." And it all works - the breathing sounds on "Singing Sand," the delicate, twisting string sounds on "Utopia."
Three years plus in it's execution - this has all the hallmarks of a real masterwork, the kind of record that burns, maturing slightly with every listen, never past its peak. Indispensable for anyone who claims to like music.
