Silver Summit - Silver Summit

        That Silver Summit is a New York band is undeniable. The darkness and frenetic claustrophobia of NYC
ebbs from every sonic pore of the band’s debut long player. New York City is nothing, though, if not trace
elements of the globe’s disparate cultures (made uniform through earth and steel and flesh).
Multiculturalism (a dreaded word, I know) informs Silver Summit’s sonic character as much as the
blackened brownstone facades, hidden public gardens and slumbering subway commuters must. Where
else then to seek unmitigated conflations of metal, dream-pop, oriental, British folk and other harmonious
dissonances than in the band’s own musings? The musical layers are infinite, as are the listener’s chances
at discovery.
