Guess it all makes sense" is the motto at the very beginning of this debut album. The Cologne-born band ALPENTINES plays large-format, guitar- and vocal-driven art-pop on it, giving us one of the most beautiful artistic snapshots of our time. In silent agreement with great names in music history, the formation of ex-members of Tulp, Voltaire and Lichter works on",Silence Gone" on themes of the I and You. Spirituality has a place here as well as the escape into the smallest relationship unit. Truths are spoken and accepted. As on the 3-track EP released in 2016, the musical framework was built from the virtues of bands like Elbow, Wilco or the early Radiohead, complemented by technical production finesse, brass, majestic soundscapes, intelligently toothed guitars and a voice that wants to be more an instrument than a narrator. Silence Gone" by the ALPENTINES is something other than trend, direction or fashion: a great feeling that finds its way under the skin. Guaranteed.
