Silent Feature Era – This Old Leather Heart
Like a finely crafted artefact that just gets better with age, so goes the music of Silent Feature Era. At first listen, the identifiable elements stand out but then they dissolve into something with a richer patina and more pronounced details via the ageing process.

Noted as the work of two main musicians, Greg Cathcart and Adrian Mauro, This Old Leather Heart features so many guest artists it has become a very real mixing pot of ideas of both production and playing. There is no real agenda at play here other than to give the songs their best chance to reach full potential. If that requires a guest to come in and provide just a splash of colour, so be it.

Part confessional take on a life with limits, part out right celebration of moving past those limitations, the music here is often delivered with the warm intimacy of a friend’s whisper. The instrumentation only adds to that intimate take.

Sometimes the more personal things become the more universal their appeal.
