August 10, 2016 For Immediate Release SUPERSILENT SIGN TO SMALLTOWN SUPERSOUND ANNOUNCE 13, OUT SEPTEMBER 30TH LISTEN TO “13.9” h=ps://soundcloud.com/smalltownsupersound/supersilent-139/s-RfUIe COMPLETE BACK CATALOGUE TO BE RELEASED DIGITALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER You can’t accuse Supersilent of keeping the noise down. Ever since 1997, when Norway’s finest free music ouHit came together for the first Ime, their unpredictable noises and rapturous textures have been heard all around the world – and maybe somewhere outside the stratosphere too. Currently a trio featuring Helge Sten, ArVe Henriksen, and Ståle Storløkken, Supersilent’s album number 13 (out September 30th) marks a turning point in the group’s two-decade career. ARer a dozen recordings under the umbrella of the diverse Rune Grammofon label, Supersilent have now signed to Oslo-based Smalltown Supersound, where they join the likes of Lindstrøm, DJ HarVey, Prins Thomas, Andre Bra=en, and Biosphere as labelmates. The album was announced this morning via FACT. One week prior to the new album’s release, the band will also release their extensiVe back catalogue in it’s en_rety across digital pla`orms. This is the first Ime these albums have ever been made available to the public digitally. Mostly taped in an Oslo studio at the end of 2014, the band record everything on 13 live, while blasIng their sound through a PA system, so that they can feel the physical air moving as if they were on stage. Tracks 1 and 5 date from 2009, immediately aRer their drummer’s exit. “They were tryout sessions to see how we should proceed,” says Helge. “It was a kind of research for the band to feel how it is to be three, not four, and to blow off some steam.” All of Supersilent’s music is enIrely unplanned, with all three experienced musical adventurers throwing themselves into the moment and riding the emerging maelstrom. They always manage to surprise you, whether it’s the Indonesian ritual music heard from a Scandinavian mountaintop on the opening track “13.1” or the compressed digital labyrinths of “13.9.” The trio swap instruments with abandon: percussion, trumpet and woodwind, electronics and Storløkken’s collectable assortment of vintage keyboards. In this technologized environment, sounds are passed around, distorted and spat out again in tantalizing splurges. “It takes Ime to shape a band from the beginning,” says Helge, “but for us now the trio is working really well.” With Supersilent’s lucky 13, now you can be the judge of that.
