about

"Time Is New layers clever, effect laden guitars, dense synth pads and sing-along choirs frequently lifting (the album) into pure moments of rapture. The songs, though well appointed through Alex Lipsen's slick production, still maintain a sense of closeness and reliability." - Ryan Murphy of the Denver Post for Bandwagon Magazine

This sophomore release from Bright Silence bridges the gap between frontman Kevin Johnston's solo, acoustic shows and the eponymous first release's full band rock-sprawl. Like their debut, Time Is New features a choir of the supporters who made the recording possible. Jeff Buckley and Thom Yorke's melodic vocal prowess is an obvious influence here, though the modern guitar, bass, synth and drum arrangements, earnest songwriting and dense production style make for a keen listen that feels new every time.

about

Bright Silence Leipzig, Germany

"Time Is New wastes no time engaging ear drums, proffering the powerful “Least Resistance” from the outset. Galloping drums, ascending choral melodies, and almost western portamento guitars evoke golden rolling hills and the whimsy of middle America. One can’t help but yearn for a frontier to explore. Time Is New frequently lifts into pure moments of rapture." Ryan Murphy - Bandwagon Magazine ... more
