Glasgow-based twin-sibling duo Cloth (Rachael and Paul Swinton) shared new single ‘Pink Silence’, taken from the album of the same name, out April 25th via Rock Action.

Paul Swinton comments on the new single: “The term ‘Pink Silence’ is something I came up with to describe a particular time and feeling – those moments late in the evening or very early in the morning, when the sun is rising or setting. Depending on your mindset at a given time, those moments can either feel blissfully serene, or charged with a sense of foreboding. Those times are always beautiful, but the experience of them can be very different, especially if your mind is awash with overthinking – as mine often is. I really liked the idea that something so natural and beautiful could have such an emotional duality to it. The intimacy of those moments also tend to feel supercharged when shared with another person, so it felt right for the song to be a love story – one which plays out from dusk until dawn against the backdrop of pink silence.”

On new album Pink Silence, a more instinctual approach to writing was adopted. They wanted to let the songs be what they were going to be, rather than pulled into a certain shape. The results feel absorbing and natural, fitting rather well with what the band wanted to draw from the title Pink Silence, and the sense that beauty and trepidation can coexist.

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
