Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There are some bands that just seem to have a natural affinity with both the venue they are playing in and the day in which is being represented. For Silent Sleep the venue never seems to make a difference, for the sound of the remarkable and the giving always jostle for the attention and capturing of elegance no matter where they perform, whether at Leaf on Bold Street, the austere and imposing nature of the ancient court of Liverpool or indeed the iconic St Luke’s Church, steeped in history and arguably one of the most important buildings in the city; the sound is one in which the ceaseless chattering in the head takes a back seat and the gentle approach of collective beauty reigns supreme.

Silent Sleep, Walk Me To The Sea. Album Review,

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are times when you don’t need to shout too hard about what you have found, the object, the piece of music or hitherto unseen action will always find a way to make itself known and inspire those who take the time to get to understand it and sit in quiet contemplation as each word, each syllable and note floats over them and through them. Like the sea making its presence known through each grain of sand, the infiltration is slow, meticulous and all powerful.

Silent Sleep, Gig Review. Leaf, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Raring * * * *

The New Year brings a fresh new gathering of top notch musicians to the forefront of live performing in Liverpool and in Leaf on Bold Street, the year got off to a marvellous start with the cracking sound of Silent Sleep.

Fronted by Chris McIntosh and with a cast of veritable thousands on stage, Silent Sleep made a dull January evening, not always the best time of year with the ensuing damp and bitter cold hitting the city, a night of fun and quiet musical contemplation which was enjoyable and nonetheless beautiful.
