Black Square to release debut album, 'Silent City'

Fusing musical elements from hip-hop and trip-hop through to dubstep and drum and bass, Silent City is a visceral and highly emotive forthcoming album from newcomer Black Square, featuring a wide range of guest vocalists including Sarah Hezen, Eliza Shaddad, Grace Tither, MC Conrad, Ben Verse and recent Nile Rogers collaborator Joe Killington.

Black Square is a new project from an established producer. Eschewing boundaries of genre, Silent City takes musical cues from a huge variety of influences, and moves through an assortment of tones and tempos over the course of 14 tracks.

The influences in Silent City are wide ranging, but what’s impressive is Black Square’s ability to create something entirely original from the myriad of musical tropes that have informed the project. From the heavy Reece bassline of ‘Trains’ through to the Burial-esque static and faltering rhythm present in ‘Vinyl Sounds Like Rain’ to the glitchy harmonics of ‘Testimony’ reminiscent of Max Cooper, Silent City absorbs, innovates and unequivocally delivers.

Silent City is out digitally 15 July 2016 on Crunch Recordings. The first single ‘Archive’ is available now as an instant-grat when you pre-order the album from iTunes: http://smarturl.it/Silent-City-iTunes

A vinyl sampler will be released 01 July.
