Sylver Tongue
Sylver Tongue is pleased to announce the release of her debut EP ‘Something Big’ on Dancing Coins - the new label from a collective that includes Mute artist Al Spx of Cold Specks - on November 5th.
Sylver Tongue is the new project from Charlotte Hatherley - in this guise she uses battered old Juno keyboards to write the wounded pop songs that define a new chapter in her career.
The name of the project is equally inspired by Phillip Pullman's Dark Materials heroine Lyra Silvertongue and Japan frontman David Sylvian.
The title track from the EP is a powerful juggernaut of a single which showcases Charlotte's compelling and melodic vocals alongside riotous percussion and robotic guitar solos.
‘Something Big’ sits nicely alongside early teaser ‘Hook You Up’ - a perfect slice of pop - which is deservedly given its first physical release on the EP.
‘Faraway Sun’ is another new track which demonstrates a darker, cinematic side to Sylver Tongue’s sound - sedate, but no less arresting. The EP will be released on 12" vinyl and will also feature acclaimed debut single ‘Creatures’ - not previously available on a physical format.
Having previously supported School of Seven Bells and Gaggle, Sylver Tongue will be joining Bat for Lashes on her full headline UK tour.
