Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Silent Years formed in 2010 with James Dean on vocals and guitar, Dan Cavey on bass and vocals, Mike Roberts on drums, and Claire MacDonald on keyboards and vocals. They released their debut album 'Black Hole' in 2015, which included the title track and songs like 'Climb On My Back' and 'Makeup.'
Their music drew attention for its atmospheric quality and introspective lyrics, though some lines from 'Black Hole' raised concerns about romanticizing dark themes. They followed with albums like 'The Great Divide' in 2017 and 'Fragile' in 2020.
Dean's vocals had a haunting quality, Cavey's basslines and harmonies added depth, Roberts' drumming provided a steady pulse, and MacDonald's keyboard work layered in ethereal textures. They played festivals and toured, building a following around songs such as 'Open Up Our Eyes' and 'Goddamn You!'
