Silk Cut ask ‘Where Do We Go From Here?’
Following the release of their extremely well-received album Corridors of Light on October 16th, Silk Cut pose a question: Where Do We Go From Here?
The sixth track on the album, Where Do We Go From Here? “is about the push and pull of fear versus hope. We’re in troubled times, but snow is falling; will we freeze or make the first new footsteps?” says the song’s writer Justin McLean.
Silk Cut’s previous single, Godlike I was an attention-grabber in the alternative radio world, sailing to No. 1 on the 95bFM Top Ten, and No. 5 on the Radioscope Alt radio play chart.
The album itself, Corridors of Light, debuted at No. 6 on the Official To 20 Aotearoa Albums Chart, and has been picking up glowing reviews – you can read some of them below.
Corridors of Light is the third long player from Tāmaki Makaurau indie rock/pop quartet Silk Cut. The album stays the course plotted by 2024’s self-titled release, and ups the ante with a dozen new originals by axemen Andrew Thorne and Justin McLean.
Joined once again by drummer Jayden Lee and bassist Aidan Phillips, Silk Cut recorded most of the album as a live unit at Chapel Studio, Puhoi, with sonic champion Dave Rhodes engineering. This captures a concentration of effort with the excitement of a shared moment. A magic component of the session’s sound was a 1970’s Marshall Plexi guitar amp once owned by AC/DC legend Malcolm Young. Hells bells indeed!!
Details and embellishments followed at Bell Curve Studio with the ever-convivial musical oracle Wayne Bell tracking vocals and more guitars – all mixed and mastered by Dave Rhodes.
