Claudia Kane blends trip-hop with western soundtracks on mighty new track "The Silence"

"The Silence" is the first track to be taken from Kane's upcoming second EP.

It's slathered in classic trip-hop motifs - vibrant, ritualistic beats, Lamb-esque vox, and the headiest synths - but there are moments that veer towards cowboy flick soundtracks. Galloping acoustic strums, electric axe licks, and epic frontier-shattering strings... there's a grand sense of space in this track. It's sprawling, empty, isolated, and yet very, very free. It's heroic.

23-year-old Kane prefers to write about "truth and grit", saying that "none of my songs are about love, because I’ve never been in love."
