Sunset are one of the busiest bands in Austin, so it's no surprise that they're continuing to host shows at their east side studio Baby Blue and have a new release planned for the near future - an album entitled Gold Dissolves to Gray out on Autobus records. According to the band's blog, a vinyl form of the album (with a cd version included) will see release on November 24th.

Though the man behind Silent Land Time Machine keeps the project slightly mysterious, the music he produces lands squarely in the familiar. Eerie synths, weeping viola, violin, guitar, accordion, piano (and dozens of other instruments) fit neatly together creating tightly wound but ethereal compositions. &Hop Still earns references to A Silver Mt. Zion and Do Make Say Think -- fairly -- but for us its most reminiscent of Scenic's Aquatica.

It's no secret that we in Austinist really crush on Balmorhea. Perhaps it's our gloriously out-of-the closet predilection for hooky, pop-sensible instrumental music. Perhaps it's the great art direction and atmosphere they conjure. Hell, perhaps it's the wonderful folks in the saddle.

The mysterious and (and mysteriously soothing) instrumental project Silent Land Time Machine will release its debut album &hope still in conjunction with a performance at The Parish alongside Silver Pines and Andrew Tinker, the latter being one of millions formerly in The Polyphonic Spree.
