Ominous ambience, funky hip-hop, pan-global instrumentals, crushing electronica, elegant post-punk, and forlorn post-rock.

Also: Planned Parenthood, building Minas Tirith, the state of web design, atheists and Christian rock, and more.

Cinematic electronic music, Quaker-influenced synthpop, spacious ambient dub, atmospheric chamber music, and exotic instrumentals.

Swirling shoegaze, Christian psych-rock, dark ambient and industrial, ’80s-style disco pop, and more.

For all of their engineering, programming, and whatnot, it’s to Silver’s credit that these songs never seem sterile or artificial.
