www.myspace.com/reticencemn
Reticence is defined as being "inclined to keep one's personal
affairs to oneself." In the band Reticence, music is our outlet to
express the things we see in ourselves and in the world.
Reticence has a focus building community and tries to create music
that helps people cope. Some songs will delve into interpersonal
events while others tell fictional stories to expose
idiosyncrasies amidst our culture.
Stylistically the music often crescendos from mellow to intense
and back again while always keeping an emphasis on melody.
"...ReMedial has a smooth, easy feel with flashes of crunchy
guitar breaks and syncopated rhythms, a sound that reflects their
urge to create something that reaches out to those who don't
necessarily have an expressive platform."
- Jennifer Whigham, The Pulse, Dec. 7, 2005
"...ReMedial [is] a crunchy, melodic alt-rock disc that welds
delicate vocals with searing guitars - sort of like Muse but
without all those operatic flourishes."
- Ross Raihala, Pioneer Press, Dec. 8, 2005
"Pretty powerful stuff..."
- Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune Dec. 9, 2005
"...the track that will perk up most twentysomethings' ears is "Up
Up Down Down," a serene love song encrypted in a video game trick.
...If that ain't the most sincere sign of young love, I don't know
what is."
- Lindsey Thomas, City Pages, Dec. 9, 2005
Reticence 21+ CD Release Party: A-List Recommended Event
(Includes Bill Mike article!)
- City Pages, Dec. 9, 2005
"...Reticence knows when to rock and knows when to let the melody
and lyrics do the work. ReMedial is a smart album from a group who
knows a thing or two about songwriting and has plans to go
places."
(Includes interview with singer Jesse Norell)
- Greg Swan, PerfectPorridge.com, Jan. 10, 2006
"Toggling between pretty crunch-guitar melodies and soft emo-punk
ballads, ReMedial is sequenced beautifully with a welcome aural
cohesiveness"
- Gentry Boekel, Rift Magazine, January 2006 (full article not
available online)
"Reticence's music is very dynamic with swelling, mellow
interludes that lead into heavy rock parts. What seems to be
consistent is an emphasis on melody. Their songs are often
strangely both complicated and singable."
- Sam Keenan, Misplaced Music Radio Program Director
