In
September 2003, South Carolina band Silers Bald released their debut
album Real Life. The once independent band -- comprised of members
Marcus Myers, Warren Bazemore, Jason Jacobs, and Shane Williams --
offers listeners acoustic pop with an Appalachian sound. Musically, the
album is rich in instrumentation. The analog synth arpeggios and
contemporary distressed electric guitars on the album feel right at
home alongside traditional bluegrass instruments such as the hammered
dulcimer, piano, accordion, violin, and acoustic guitar. The djembe,
shaker, and Wurlitzer round out Silers Bald's well-instrumentationed
sound. Vocally, singers Bazemore and Williams are a blend of Phil
Collins, Nickel Creek, and Caedmon's Call. Perhaps not so oddly enough,
Caedmon's Call member Joshua Moore produced Real Life. The arrangement
and instrumentation of each song serve to support the emotions that are
communicated lyrically. Emotions include yearning ("My Heart Will
Sing," "Carolina Line"), irony ("All I Can Be"), and love ("Emmanuel").
Additional highlights on the album include the eerily whimsical
theremin that begins "Turn" and the driving declaration of "Emmanuel."
