After 20 years as the leader of The Silos, it would be easy for Walter
Salas-Humara to sink into a creative comfort-zone, turning out likable, catchy
tunes with zero edge. Not so. Come On Like The Fast Lane buzzes with rock energy
reminiscent of the proto-punk lower East Side legends like The Velvet
Underground and Television, punched up with pop melodies that resuscitates a
sound that never went out of style. The songs on Come On Like The Fast Lane play
out like minimalist short stories framed by the spacious, guitar-heavy
arrangements the band is known for.
On Come On Like The Fast Lane, recorded in Phillip GlassÆs Looking Glass
Studios, The Silos put their power-trio to the test. The band employs layered
guitars to add depth and transcendence to the albumÆs introspective tracks,
switching to ferocious, hook-laden rock to part the clouds and land back on
terra firma. ItÆs this ability to draw on an inexhaustible well of emotions with
turn-on-a-dime transitions that sets The Silos apart; naked honesty and joyous
melodies never sounded so good together. It will come as no surprise that early
in their career, The Silos were named ôBest New American Bandö by Rolling Stone
magazine. After several brushes with fame and numerous critically acclaimed
albums, it is heartening to know that the band continues to make brilliance look
easy.
Come On Like The Fast Lane opens with the Salas-Humara/Steve Wynn co-penned
ôBehind Me Nowö, showcasing guileless pop guitar breaks while questioning hidden
meanings with equal application in the personal and political. A bleaker view
presents itself in ôPeople Are Rightö as Salas-Humara describes the condition of
a ôàheart that is adrift between the shores and heaven and hellö. ôKeeping
Scoreö takes the high lonesome sound associated with soundtrack genius Ennio
Morricone and infuses it with distinctively American noir elements.
The Silos hit the road in March in support of this February 20th release, expect
an impressive number of performances at SXSW in Austin during their North
American trek this spring.
