For their third studio album release, A Silent Film has once again outdone themselves. Mixing a sound of soft vocals with upbeat indie background music, A Silent Film breaks through the surface of 2012’s new album releases and surprises us with their new album Sand & Snow.

Robert Stevenson, vocalist and pianist of the band, expresses his thoughts from his heart clearly with the lyrics of every song. Cuckoo Song, is number 5 out of 11 new songs. It gives off a haunting feeling of heartfelt longing, and is backed up by unique guitar riffs, and a steady beat of the drums. All 11 songs have an upbeat pace to them, but the lyrics carry a lot of meaning with them.

Number 7 of the album, Harbour Lights carries a melody that can be compared to Coldplay and Snow Patrol. Sand & Snow is anything but mediocre. This album brings a new light to all Indie bands and Indie music. With unbelievably unique lyrics, and equally as unique instrumentals, Sand & Snow is definitely a gem to be discovered in the world of music.
