LA’s Silent Rival have released their debut album The Kindness Of Strangers today (listen below).
Examining the past, and using it as a starting point for new beginnings, is a common theme throughout The Kindness of Strangers. However, the Los Angeles based band—front woman Sara Coda, guitarist Joz Ramirez, bass player Yutaka Sao, and drummer Brock Bowers—thrives on rising from the ashes. “I’ve got to die a little, to live at all!,” Coda exclaims on the first single, “Die A Little.”
Musically, The Kindness of Strangers also focuses on reinvention. The album, produced by Matt Wallace (Maroon 5, Sugarcult, Andy Grammer & Faith No More) & mixed by Neil Aaron (Twenty-One Pilots, Blink 182, Misterwives) puts a modern twist on glam, synth-pop and classic alternative rock.
The Kindness of Strangers is a self-assured debut album that’s a portent of great things to come.
