{"product_id":"quiet-village_silent-movieorange-vinyl_2019_dif","title":"Silent Movie\/Orange Vinyl","description":"After 3 highly sought-after singles for the label Whatever We Want – plus remixes for artists such as Gorillaz, François K, Cosmo Vitelli and, erm, The Osmonds – Quiet Village emerges from the shadows to present their first full-length album, Silent Movie. Composed of forgotten gem hunter (also known as crate-digger) Joel Martin and rising electro star Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave), and taking their name from Martin Denny's exotica masterpiece, Quiet Village makes old sounds new again (and vice versa). Influenced by Italian film soundtracks, BBC library music, Disco edits, acid rock, vintage soul, and easy listening, fitting for a decade where musical categories continue to blur, Silent Movie cannot be described by a single term. Its assembly process might label it as \"electronic music,\" but few other aspects lean towards the electronic. The album is rich in fuzzy textures and inflated tones: acoustic guitars, harp, curtains of bells, tambourines, chamber music strings, vintage synthesizers, and voices – countless voices, treated as instruments. Silent Movie is certainly not a \"Dance\" album, not by a long shot; but it is as hypnotic as a disco ball's rotation, filled with long sequences, gentle repetitions, and subtle shifts that stealthily pull the rug out from under your feet. With dimmed lights, the entire album takes on the appearance of a waking dream. All thanks to Quiet Village's love for the chill-out classics of the late 80s and early 90s, from Slowdive's shoegazing to The Orb's ambient. Silent Movie is a love letter to the past, sealed with a hint of the future's perfume. It's the most unlikely cinematic kiss you'll witness this year! Get comfortable, close your eyes, and let the images unfold...","brand":"Quiet Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55308102074712,"sku":null,"price":20190614.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0730003722516_e136b048-8f74-4649-b974-54ca9b5d2418.jpg?v=1760303043","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en\/products\/quiet-village_silent-movieorange-vinyl_2019_dif","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
