Voici un nouveau coup de coeur à Neoprog, Silent Eyes, le projet du multi-instrumentaliste australien Keelan Butterick. Son premier EP autoproduit qui sortira le 20 novembre prochain, propose cinq morceaux principalement acoustiques, un peu à la manière de Falling Home de Pain of Salvation, c'est dire si c'est bon.

Voici un avant goût de la merveille avec 'The City', commenté par Keegan :
"The City was a song that was born on new years eve, 2015. I was living in Sydney, battling with depression, not sure what direction I was heading in or how I could move forward. I felt paralysed, unable to visualise anything for myself and unable to change the way I felt. I was alone on new years eve watching the fireworks through my housemates window, thinking about the year ahead. I sat down in my kitchen with my guitar and started playing the introductory plucking progression, and the lyrics all seemed to pour out of me. And its a song that speaks of the longing to be able to be reborn , with a clean slate, free from the past and any painful memories."
