Shunu Records are delighted to announce the signing of alt-rock foursome A World Of Silence to their repertoire of artists. AWOS will be releasing their debut album 'Still' through Shunu in October, and it promises to be a driving, progressive-tinged behemoth of a rock record.
The quartet, made up of Benedetta Capecchi on vocals, Matteo Benvenuti on guitars, Alessandro Sebastiani on bass and Daniele Cianferoni on drums, have been gathering awards back home in Florence, Italy since forming in 2011 with their outstanding song writing and committed performances, and last year won the right to perform at the prestigious “Pistoia Blues festival”, where they opened for Morcheeba on the main stage.
But that is only one of the many prizes they've gathered, other highlights include coming third in the "Summer Giovani Lucca" contest in 2011, winning long-established festival "Suoni Nella Notte" in 2013, and opening for Alteria in 2013 at the Borderline Club in Pisa, a show that was aired by RockTV, while the band have made it on to various 'hot lists' with their outstanding, polished sound.
Capecchi's extraordinary vocals are the enchanting yet powerful cherry on top of what are intricate, melodic weaves, with an occasional touch of menace, and expertly crafted by Benvenuti on guitar and Sebastiani and Cianferoni in a watertight rhythm section.
The band is now excited to release their debut full-length album, “Still” at the end of 2015 with Gothenburg based label Shunu Records.
Below is the video of the title track from that album, a rousing, rocking number which perfectly demonstrates the shade of bands like A Perfect Circle and Porcupine Tree that A World Of Silence so effortlessly evoke, and what is merely a hint of what they have in store for listeners later this year.
