A Silent Film Announce 'This Stage Is Your Life' Release Date
Thursday, 28 June 2012
Written by Elliott Batte
Oxford-based alternative rockers A Silent Film have announced that they’ll release their brand new EP ‘This Stage is Your Life’ on July 30th.
Conceived in a makeshift recording studio in Cave Creek Arizona, the EP features a soaring piano version of ‘Danny Dakota and the Wishing Well’, which is set to appear on the new album ‘Sand & Snow’ released early next year, the inspiring ‘Echoes Across a Bowl of Tears’, and title track ‘This Stage is Your Life’.
The new EP and forthcoming album comes after the band’s decision to move to Phoenix, Arizona, back in 2010. Speaking of the benefits of the move, vocalist and pianist Robert Stevenson said: “We felt like we always had a kinship with America. Previously, I had been inspired by American writers, musicians, and filmmakers, but written everything in Oxford. Suddenly, we were flung into the eye of a cultural hurricane, travelling from state to state day after day - you couldn't help but be inspired by this wealth of new
experiences. We decided we had to stay here to capture this album.”
Mixing duties fell to Alan Moulder - best known for his work with The Killers, Death Cab For Cutie, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Foo Fighters – who finished the self produced sessions in London along with Catherine Marks (PJ Harvey, The Pains of Being Pure of Heart & Foals).
