Genre/Influences: Future-pop, body-pop.
Background/Info:
Silver Walks is an American solo-project driven by Daniel McCullough. I
found out that a single (cf. “Tidal”) got released in 2017 while this EP is
preceding the debut album planned for the end of the year.
Content:
It’s not
that easy to define the precise ‘style’ of this project. I clearly noticed some
future-pop elements, but also more minimalistic parts and punching electro-pop.
The EP features 5 songs plus 2 remixes by Solve and Alizza (from Vore
Aurora).
+ + + :
One of
the main strengths of this EP clearly appears to be the strings injecting a
melodic touch to the work. I like the opening cut “Rearview (Adrienne’s
Mirror)” for its future-pop approach, but still the more minimalistic “Black
Doves” is worthy of examination. If you want to label Silver Walks as
‘pop’-like it for sure has something atypical and that’s precisely what I like
in the icy sound treatments emerging at “Timebomb”. The remix of “Black Doves”
by Solve is a dark and interesting cut.

One of
the few, but essential aspects that hurt at a few songs (and especially at “Our
Season On Fire”) is the production of the vocals.
Conclusion
: Silver
Walks appears to be a formation with an interesting approach and good ideas,
which I hope will serve as basis for the debut full length (which must be
probably achieved in the meantime).
