Delicate piano chords with the cold breath of a soft voice, FAUSTINE SEILMAN’s song-writing is brutally heartfelt.
She whispers words coming from a life long story of love and hate, birth and death. She also masters her piano and gives depths and shapes to let emotions go, like if they were too heavy to hold. The band sometimes bursts into anger with layers of powerful guitars and bass, or softens the melancholy with instruments scattered around the room (accordion, harmonium, violin, glockenspiel…). They also know how to remain silent, when there’s nothing more to say.
Beautifully crafted, “Silent Valley” blends her classical education and influences like SHANNON WRIGHT, CAT POWER or A SILVER MOUNT ZION.
Her musicianship and experience (she also plays with MY NAME IS NOBODY) makes this debut album a mature and unique work of art.
