Material, the Glaswegian duo of dual siblings Rachael and Paul Swinton, have introduced a brand new album: Pink Silence is out April 25 by way of Rock Motion. The follow-up to 2023’s Secret Measure contains the beforehand launched single ‘Polaroid’, in addition to a brand new monitor, ‘Golden’. Test it out and discover the album cowl and tracklist under.
The light, heartfelt ‘Golden’ “traces the way it feels to grapple with the breakdown of a relationship, and wade via the aftermath,” based on a press launch. Paul defined:
I keep in mind writing the primary refrain guitar hook of this track, Rachael including a chord accompaniment, and me saying to her “this songs must sound like Speaking Heads!” I believe that plan of motion possibly obtained a bit misplaced alongside the best way, nevertheless it’s nonetheless one of many album’s most musically upbeat moments, with an important hi-hat-driven beat within the refrain and a bridge which is perhaps my favorite of any Material track. The track offers with the powerful breakdown of a relationship, and the sensation of that loss being so troublesome to reconcile with you’d somewhat have by no means fallen in love in any respect. There’s a line within the track, ‘that scar on my wall, the place all of these pictures remembered us falling” which got here from me gazing my bed room wall and seeing the faint outlines – the ‘scars’ – of the place pictures of actually significant recollections was caught on. That appeared to me to be a very highly effective picture, despite the fact that, in a way, there’s nothing to take a look at anymore.
Commenting on the title of the brand new album, the duo mentioned: “This concept of pink silence describes the early morning or later within the night, once you get this form of unusual ethereal gentle within the sky. It will probably imply one in all two issues; one thing which feels blissfully serene or one thing charged with an actual sense of foreboding. We cherished the concept that one thing so pure, lovely and all-pervasive might have such an intense duality to it.”
