Live Review: A Silent Film @ The Bowery Ballroom
By Ysabella Monton
Video Interview with A Silent Film can be viewed here.
This past Sunday, New York was still brimming with post-Halloween spirit going right into a vibrant performance by British duo A Silent Film at the Bowery Ballroom.
Opening up the show was Flagship, consisting of Drake Margolnick and Michael Finster from North Carolina. Â Of the quartet on stage, Mikey (as he had introduced himself to me before the show) on the drums seemed to be having the best time, smiling the whole way through and making the set even more fun to watch.
From the get-go when A Silent Film came out, the crowd came ready to party, feeding the band all the energy they needed to power through the night. Â I, and everyone around me, danced around, all getting our cardio workouts for the day. Â Not many artists quite match this kind of stage presence.
I couldnât tell you how many times they talked about being proud of their self-titled record, released only a few weeks ago â and rightfully so. Â Tracks such as âStrong Enoughâ and my personal favorite, âLavender Fields,â were met with cheers (and nearly tears) from the audience.
That isnât to say, though, that upbeat songs from their older albums werenât met with just as much enthusiasm, if not more. Â The venue briefly turned into a 90s synthpop club for âDanny, Dakota & the Wishing Well,â and Robert had no problem getting everyone on key for âHarbour Lights.â
And one girl in the front row (who may or may not have been whipped in the face by Robertâs mic cord) drummed along to every song, with Spencer oh-so-modestly saying he knows heâs a fantastic drummer. Â
Some lineup changes made for a noticeable shift in the dynamic on stage, following the departure of two founding members. Â On stage this time around was a Jake and two Matts (on bass, guitar, and keyboard, respectively), one being producer Matthew Wilcox, who worked with the band on the latest release. Â While recording, the duo initially didnât even entertain the thought that Wilcox would want to tour with them.
The core two have been playing music together since years prior to forming A Silent Film, and the journey to recording the new record and touring thus far has been a refreshing return to those roots.
It became clear when Spencer and Robert came out for an encore, performing a stripped-down version of their song âLamplight,â off the first record. Â Just the two of them with a piano and a shaker created a more intimate feeling with the crowd. Â They noted that previously, they hardly ever did this one live; but, now that itâs just the two of them, they can do whatever they want. Â And clearly, theyâre having a great time doing it.

Album Review: twelvefour by The Paper Kites
There is no sophomore slump for the guys at The Paper Kites. After their absolutely gorgeous debut record, States, the band followed up with an equally soothing and stunning 10-song album.Â
What I love about their aesthetic is their serene and completely still compositions. Their single and first song, âElectric Indigoâ sets you off on a dreamy journey through melancholiness. The reverb and echo of the snare drum creates an illusion of recurrence. Oddly enough, âRenegadeâ subtly reminisces Coldplayâs âHigh Speedâ with the dips of surreal electric guitar melodies.Â
With its departure from a much brighter tone from their Woodland EP, thereâs a distinctiveness that makes this album become such a magical experience; the collective harmonies are haunting, yet mesmerizing, and perfectly captures a still moment in life.Â
This album is a perfect track for those late night drives and night owls. But maybe thatâs just me.Â
They will also be touring North America in support of this record.Â

Live Review: Porter Robinson @ Anime Expo 2015
Donât listen to electronic music? Donât worry.Â
Porter Robinson is one of those electronic music producers that will absolutely blow your mind even if you donât appreciate the niche genre. He has a talent that is unique to this electronic music world. By combining melodic synths, gorgeous strings, and a unique taste for his progression, he mixes, performs, and sings his songs all on-stage. Surprise! No, he isnât one of those DJs who press play and jump around like he owns the world. Heâs an actual artist.Â
This was the very first time I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live. As part of the Worlds Tour, his set mostly consisted of songs from his sophomore album, which is called (you guessed it!)Â Worlds.Â
Starting off with the atmospheric song âSea of Voices,â he transitions straight into his well known hits like âSad Machineâ and âSpitfire.â Accompanied by visuals of animated characters and video games, it was a perfect fit for the tour and the expo. Even familiarizing the audience with some reminiscing samples from Legend of Zelda, it was almost like his tour was made for Anime lovers.Â
Porter appropriately ended the set with the last song from his latest album, âGoodbye to a Worldâ and a popular song never included in his studio albums, âLanguage.âÂ
There was no doubt the attendees of this exclusive surprise concert had a magical time with Porter Robinson. His pure talent is not a force to be reckoned with. As a 23 year old producing incredible music, there is only going up from here.Â
