A.I.A.D is a towering slice of indie rock that embraces weighty riffs and classic rock influences from Derbyshire four-piece Shadows of a Silhouette. Despite the nostalgic energy, A.I.A.D is still an unmistakably contemporary record.
Diving into wider technological and societal themes, particularly around AI, Nathan and Reece of Shadows of a Silhouette explain:
Nathan: “The song sets out to create dystopian novel levels of imagery around what we fear are possible future outcomes of our current relationship with each other in the world and with AI itself. The title of the track stands for Artificial Intelligence, Automated Deception”
Reece: “This is the type of song I’d like to think that bands like Black Sabbath would be making if they were our age today and living through the birth of AI”
Having already earned support from CLASH, graced stages including Y Not Festival and Rough Trade Nottingham, and released their debut album For Those That Know last autumn, Shadows of a Silhouette show little sign of slowing down.
A.I.A.D is thought-provoking and explosive, assured and convincing; stream it via Spotify below:
