about

Sound In Silence is happy to welcome back Ben Rath, presenting his new album Resolve.

This is his third album on the label after the highly acclaimed, and already sold out, Forgiveness in 2016 and Anything Is Possible in 2018.

Ben Rath is an ambient multi-instrumentalist based in Manchester, UK, who has been putting out sublime releases on labels such as Eilean Rec., Unknown Tone Records, Cathedral Transmissions, Triple Moon Records and others. He has also put out two releases, an EP and an album, with his acoustic lo-fi side-project Slow Heart Music and an EP with his electronic side-project Astral Harmonies.

Based on a loose concept imagining a post-collapse society in which a committee is sent back in time to observe events as they unfolded and report back on how things went so wrong, this project reflects Ben's attempts to process and work through his own political anxiety and apocalyptic unease. Exploring the emotional and psychological toll of living in a post-Brexit and post-Covid Britain, plagued by corruption, state abandonment, and failing institutions, the music on Resolve travels through a sonic landscape of grief, melancholy, and political anger, as well as a stubborn hope for a better future and a dream of a world based on love, care, and mutual solidarity.

This is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 260 gsm ivory recycled cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert sheet containing tracklist and information printed on a 120 gsm white recycled cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon and a Sound In Silence card.

Unreleased Works 1994-1999 (Volumes 1 & 2)
by James Bernard

supported by 10 fans who also own “Resolve”

James Bernard confuses time. These suite of tracks play tricks with you, everytime you listen to 'em. Some times fast, sometimes slow, sometimes scary, sometimes mellow. All I can say, is that's its always beautiful no matter what time of the day you play. So nice to feel the 90's so close again. Polly Jean Neon Queen

Any Given Moment
by Ben Rath

supported by 10 fans who also own “Resolve”

I am such a huge fan of the sparse and incredible warm solo guitar sound on Rath's last album as Slow Heart Music. So at first, I wasn't sure what to make of the more engulfing, hymn-like delivery of 'Any Given Moment.' But as the album develops, Rath introduces his acoustic guitar into these songs in the most subtle and serene ways. If there's an afterlife, this should be the soundtrack playing while romping through every endless technicolored field. Magnificent! Lost Tribe Sound

Another goodie from T'Geruis- who makes music that sounds far away yet close, with plenty of buried melodies and washes of perfect noise, all of his work is on the Vache' playlist.......ss/am editions vaché
