Silver Current is proud to announce
Bonner Kramer • Thurston Moore “They Came Like Swallows”
Two giants of alternative/experimental music join creative forces for the first time in their storied, nearly 50-year careers. A startlingly cohesive union that burns through landscapes of primitive outsider rock, avant-garde composition, progressive ambient and further locales boldly and beautifully unnamable.
Featuring a sublime reimagining of Joy Division’s “Insight.”
“Kramer and I reconnected in Miami, Florida, a few years back, many, many years after each of us had departed NYC on separate life adventures. It was only a matter of time before we started making plans to record together and, with his irrepressible due diligence, he quickly set up a mobile recording contraption in the pad I was decamped in, the Florida sunshine flowing through the palm leaves, lithe lizards skittering across the windowsills, and we just went for it. What transpired is ‘They Came Like Swallows’, a session we immediately felt should exist as a prayer to the war-torn souls of the families of Palestine. We agreed beyond words to offer our music as a sonic activism and as a beneficent energy. This album is our duo-exchange for human dignity, it is our soul music for any semblance of a peaceful planet.” ~Thurston Moore
“They Came Like Swallows” is out May 1st on LP/CD/ Digital on Silver Current Records. Listen, preorder and download the first single “Urn Burial” at: silvercurrent.bandcamp.com

Announcing the debut album by ORCUTT SHELLEY MILLER!
“The landscape Orcutt Shelley Miller inhabits lies deep in the stoner American bedrock, fed by volcanic riffage and hypnotic phrasing with rhythmic nods to the SoCal ‘60s and atonal slash piled on a mid ‘80s SST punk-fusionoid substrate, ultimately blasting a “big rock statement” that treads the line between good times and blown minds.” ~ Tom Carter (Charalambides)
Orcutt Shelley Miller is an avant-rock trio comprised of three highly celebrated figures of experimental music: Bill Orcutt (Harry Pussy), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) and Ethan Miller (Howlin Rain, Comets On Fire).
Listen to “A Star Is Born” and order now on Lp, Cd and digital, including handmade and special edition vinyl: /album/orcutt-shelley-miller

An album full of complex colors, infinite texture, and stunning abstract song; Bonner Kramer and Thurston Moore’s beautiful ‘They Came Like Swallows’ is released today ~ order online for Bandcamp Friday or hit your local shop for a copy and listen wherever music streams and downloads ☄️
“A fresco of outsider rock, ambient, and avant-garde arrangement.” - Pitchfork
“Kramer and Moore interact with each other’s fiery and ungovernable sounds effortlessly, often finding anger and peace within the same tune. They craft an atmosphere that stays in this tenuous balance for the entirety of the album, acknowledging suffering and universal loss while always keeping the hope for something better as a guiding light.”
- All Music ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Beyond the colossal level of technical skill, improvisational brio and the searing activist frustration that anchors the record thematically, what Moore and Kramer create here is also something that is starkly beautiful” -Post-trash
