“An innovative album…that really puts West of House on a pedestal of their own.”
— Artist Reach
“Crescendo of Silence,” the debut release by West of House, is an album that effortlessly merges lush, atmospheric soundscapes with raw, emotional storytelling. Packed with soaring melodies, intricate guitar work, and vocals that strike a perfect balance between vulnerability and power, this record is a testament to the band’s bold creativity.
Each track feels like a journey, weaving through moments of introspection, anthemic crescendos, and heart-pounding rhythms that linger long after the music fades. “Crescendo of Silence” isn’t just an album – it’s an experience that cements West of House as a force to be reckoned with in the world of modern rock.
“Everything about the album has a gentle grace to it. Guitars soar up into the sky with a woozy, dreamy disposition. Rhythms always seem to have a driving, anthemic pulse to them helping to propel the entirety of the sound forward. By far though the true center of the album, its heart and soul, comes from the fire and passion of the lyricism. Vocals carefully weight each verse for maximum impact. Quite impressive storytellers, narratives emerge over the course of the album, with each track a chapter in a greater novel.” — ENTROPY Magazine
