Oscillations is The Silent Era’s Single Out Now
Good Day Noir Family,
The Silent Era’s single “Oscillations” feels like a journey into a shadowy realm, perfectly timed for its release around Halloween.
Oscillations is The Silent Era’s Single Out Now
Taken from their upcoming debut album, set to be released on November 1st, “Oscillations” establishes a chilling atmosphere perfect for the Halloween season. The band will celebrate the release with an album launch party on Halloween night (you can join the party here), making the haunting vibe of the track even more fitting.
Bri Macanas’ vocals stand out immediately, winding around the listener like a serpent, drawing them deeper into the track’s haunting atmosphere.
Her voice is seductive and haunting, creating a powerful connection with the dark, driving energy of the music.
The relentless drumming adds a sense of urgency to the song, reminding me of the moody pulse of Depeche Mode, while the bassline, though simple, is rock-solid and perfectly synced with the percussion.
It gives the track a grounded rhythm that keeps things moving forward while allowing the airier, more ethereal elements to soar. Distorted, slightly acidic guitars add a sense of tension, creating a dystopian feel that adds to the track’s epic scope.
As “Oscillations” progresses, it gradually builds toward an explosive climax after the three-minute mark.
The band unleashes everything in a sonic whirlwind that pulls you in, and just when you think you’ve reached the peak, Bri’s vocals take flight into Kate Bush-like heights, sending shivers down your spine.
The song’s ending is a stroke of genius, dropping away into sudden silence, leaving you no choice but to hit play again.

Haunting!
“Oscillations” dives into the frustrating cycle of repeating toxic patterns and falling into the same mistakes. The cold, electronic textures and driving rhythm capture the feeling of being trapped, while the lyrics express the struggle to break free and embrace change.
Bri Macanas – Vox | Chris Schwarten – Guitar | Nicolas Zappa – Bass [& stuff] | Jo Eiffes – Drums
London-based four-piece blending industrial, goth rock, shoegaze, and post-punk to create heavy, dreamy soundscapes, woven through with introspective lyrics which explore the darker side of human nature. Although each member comes from a different country with their own background and musical projects, they found their common playground in The Silent Era by drenching instruments in distortion and reverb and exploring various aspects of alt.rock.
