What their label says...
Silvery release their debut 45 this March - a double A-sided blast of infectious eccentric British pop. With first track ‘Horrors’ coming in at 1’47 it’s not long before you’ll be wanting to play again. Since forming in 2005, Silvery have already created quite a stir on the London live scene. Early shows were theatrical with fairground organ led punkish music – think Sparks, Ziggy Stardust, XTC and Parklife-era Blur. The band have built up a solid fanbase winning slots at Club NME at KOKO, O2 Wireless in Hyde Park and numerous prestigious support slots as well as airtime on BBC Radio 1. These shows led to write ups in NME, Popbitch and The Organ. Demos and live recordings became highly sort after, and after a brief scramble of label interest Silvery signed to Blow Up Records at the end of 2007. The single is a taste of the forthcoming debut album, currently about to be mixed in London, due out late Spring 2008. "Extrovert and slightly dramatic" Steve Lamacq on Radio 1 "The psychopop of Blur, if Damon Albarn spent the 90's taking acid... More please!" NME. "'if Ziggy Stardust had been written by HG Wells..." oppositiont.co.uk. "Circus organs tumble over a garish palette of clashing guitars and fairground chimes. It's a kaleidoscopic nightmare" drownedinsound.com "Eccentric, charming and smart' NME (on another occasion). "Like Scooby and Shaggy being chased around a circus tent in a hurricane" organart.com.
