about

Sound In Silence is happy to announce the addition of A Lily to its roster of artists, presenting his new album entitled Ten Drones On Cassette.

A Lily is the solo project of James Vella, better known as member of instrumental post-rock band Yndi Halda. Based in Brighton, UK, and bringing together influences as diverse as ambient, folktronica, electronica and modern classical, since 2006 he has released two albums, three EPs and one single on labels such as Dynamophone Records, p*dis, Fierce Panda, Love Thy Neighbour and Aagoo Records. As a live act, A lily has shared the stage with Amiina, Peter Broderick, Silver Apples, Yndi Halda, Silje Nes, Memoryhouse and others.

Ten Drones On Cassette, A Lily’s third full-length album and first since 2011, consists of ten new compositions with a total duration of something more than 50 minutes. As the album title suggests, the concept of the album is based on the idea of recording a collection of ten cinematic ambient and minimalist drone tracks, each one on a different cassette. Each track is named after and inspired by a specific person and takes up about a complete side of a cassette. The project was firstly self-released by A Lily in spring 2017 in just ten cassettes, each limited to one copy and including a different track. Ten Drones On Cassette was recorded using various instruments, including guitar, voice, organ, clarinet, brass and many others, and treated with a multitude of effects and acoustic processing, resulting in a sublime collection of dreamy soundscapes and hypnotic textures.

This is a limited edition of 200 handmade and hand-numbered collectible copies. The physical disc includes the edited versions of all tracks. It is packaged in a lovely hand-stamped 127mm x 127mm 260 gsm pale brown cardboard envelope with the front cover image printed on a polaroid style photo paper and an insert with the tracklist and the credits printed on a 160 gsm moss green cardboard. It also comes bundled with a download code coupon which includes as bonus the full versions of the tracks, each one between 37 to 50 minutes, and a Sound In Silence card.

When seeking truly quiet, peaceful music, most of what I hear I leave, not sensing internal depth below the sound. This is different. In a moment when subtle stimulation (a bit paradoxically) is sought as a means to deeper tranquility, this excels beautifully. For others who might have connected with Stray Ghost or Silver Mount Zion or Taphephobia, yet whose minds can dwell in greater and healthier lucid calm, this is remarkable. L

it takes a while, but the cover art finally starts to make sense: the entire album has been a sort of slow-motion takeoff. that feeling in your gut, where your stomach starts floating as if it’s weightless; that’s what anthéne does best. the last few tracks explode in turbulent walls of sound, with the titular track and light shade edging on the cinematic. as if by leaving the ground your memories are already fraying miso
