Let Go (SideCho) is the Silent Years‘ latest; it’s an EP written not only in a single week, but a week that happened to almost immediately follow the completion of their last album, 2008’s The Globe. Despite the proximity, Let Go lives up to its name, departing from The Globe in its poppier, happier sound. This new mood is reflected in both the Detroit band’s website (which reveals a penchant for rainbows and outer space—and Leonard Cohen, but that’s less to the point) and on the fourth track on the EP, “Madame Shocking.” This song sports a waltzing intro that bounces into bopping bells, keyboards and flippy phrasing. These, combined with soaring vocals, tight drum fills and a splash of horns, round out the rest of Let Go.
