Last.The Right Audioscrobbler at the Right Time."Are you sure you want to block this user?"The Silence Kit makes music."In Regulated Measure lives up to its name by not going beyond those bounds."Ten Miles Off" is compelling much like similar songs by Cranes circa Forever were..."Sonic Youth has pretty much morphed into a pop band these days but Silence Kit recreates the sludgy tempos, stormy waves of percussion and guitar, and spooky vocals of landmark bands like the Swans and early SY.In these terms, The Silence Kit are strictly "old school" and a more authentic throwback to the early 80s; they would have almost certainly been signed to Factory records if they had been around at the time.The thick beats and distorted vocals on 'Shake And Tremble' and 'Dancing To Me' are also of great merit."This 7 track CD by The Silence Kit certainly sounds familiar even upon the first listening.There is something raw and disturbing yet very beautifully revealing within the chords and rhythms of The Silence Kit.However, he has updated the sound a bit with modern electronics but no so much that you would lose the raw, earthy tonality of the DYI rock band sound."The Silence Kit plays textured, moody rock music.The band is based in New Jersey and Philadelphia, PA, and was started by Patrick McCay in 2002, as a home recording project.The Silence Kit released their debut LP "In Regulated Measure," in February of 2006.After the release, the band played many shows, sharing the stage with bands like I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Early Day Miners, Windsor for the Derby and more, and debuting a large amount of new material that the band had written, a lot of which is available on this page in the myspace player.The Silence Kit is always changing, and 2007 proved to be no different.After the other members left, Patrick built a new lineup.TJ Wark (guitar, synth), Don Ocava (bass) and Jay Dyer (drums) have joined The Silence Kit and after a few months of rehearsal, the band has resumed playing shows and are looking forward to the years ahead.The second TSK album is scheduled for a Winter 2007 release and will be comprised of recordings from 2005 and 2006.Others are available for download on our other websites, linked below.More thoughts on The Silence Kit

116,355 plays scrobbled on Last.Sounds like a Buddy Holly song.In the process of making their second album, Aleksanyan was replaced by Sergei Ledovsky of LUMENY, and classically trained violoncellist Yaroslav Kovalev of A.Given the inspiration to make music that denied easy pleasures, it was not a surprise that SK returned with an album which developed further its expansive and hypnotic style of experimental rock...PRESS CLIPS
"This is music to take a long trip with and also very heavy and noisy at times.This stuff is cleary quite improvised but it flows in interesting ways.If you are a patient man or woman, you will be rewarded by this music."Easy reference points would be Mogwai and Explosions In The Sky or Godspeed You Black Emperor.Those points will tell you part of the story and give you some idea of where Silence Kit is coming from.Silence Kit sounds like Queens Of The Stone Age or the Standard, or Tortoise, or maybe Shipping News.That is, each of these songs could have been divided into a few solid, standalone pieces.The fact that they are instrumentals makes it easier to see how the band is able to seamlessly mix multiple songs into a single track and have it work this well.At times very heavy, at times completely ambient, at times melodic, at times sounding like familiar indie rock, but at no time ever boring, Silence Kit commands its material always.Silence Kit never gets cheesy and never beats a riff into submission through endless repetition.You just have to let it be your pioneer."PRESS CLIPS
