Comment:
Cousin Silas is an experienced artist from the UK who has issued a
bunch of innumerable albums over many decades. This is his appearance
at The CerebralRift, an exciting imprint and free music platform. As usual as it used to be
the artist excels at creating soothing soundscapes with intent to
have an exquisite impact on the listener. This swarm of 10
compositions proves that the artist slightly deviates due to a more
emotive approach because he is interested in conjuring up more
restrained, more interrupted compositions where the tranquil and
flickering progressions on guitars used to slowly move over gentle
pads of a synthesiser. You can perceive a gentle New age-ish touch
within his sound which slowly swells and then contracts and in the
meantime ginning up eloquent orchestrated beauty while preserving a
compelling static touch within it. At times his soundscapes are based
on more bold bass frequencies and vague piano chords which
nevertheless used to sustain and then almost unnoticeably spread far
away. Cousin Silas does not pile on excessively he adeptly develops
all these layers into an impressive whole. Fairly magnificent stuff.
By kindred souls the issue could be compared with the likes of
Brother Saturn, Eluvium, Bosques de mi Mente, Max Richter.
