Quiet Village
After three highly sought-after singles for the Whatever We Want label and several remixes for Gorillaz, Francois K and Cosmo Vitelli, Quiet Village step out of the shadows to present "Silent Movie", their first LP. Consisting of the music lover Joel Martin and the rising dance star Matt Edwards (aka Radio Slave), Quiet Village (who are named after the cult LP by Martin Denny) give a modern edge to an old sound and vice versa. It is an intelligent melange of Italian soundtracks, BBC archives and exotica, dusted off from the back of the mind.
