THE SILENTS are set to hit the east coast with a series of shows in support of their debut album 'THINGS TO LEARN', out March 29 on Ivy League Records. The Perth four-piece will play the Essential Festivals in Melbourne and Sydney as well as a host of headline gigs throughout April and May.

With a focus on honest song-writing and an overwhelming desire to present their own interpretation and understanding of the world, THE SILENTS have captured themselves in a state of flux and channeled it into 'THINGS TO LEARN'.

Dizzying harmonies bleed into tripped-out garage rock, dark corners are explored and uncovered, and the past, present and future collide head-on.

Produced by Dave Parkin at Blackbird Sound Studio in Perth and mixed by Doug Boehm at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles, 'THINGS TO LEARN' is the sound of time spent in music, poetry, ideas and revelations juxtaposed with the bleak reality of day-to-day living.

"This is our beginning," says songwriter Lloyd Stowe. "Acknowledging the loss of our younger selves and the fading of anything innocent and child-like, this album captures time for us in song."

THE SILENTS' debut album follows on from two critically acclaimed EPs, 2006's 'Flicker And Flames' and 2007's '23', which yielded the triple j high rotation singles 'Nightcrawl' and '23'.

One of the most exciting live bands in the country right now, don't miss THE SILENTS on their 'THINGS TO LEARN' album tour. "Things To Learn is an impressively crafted, at times even slightly majestic, indie-pop record with a healthy balance of ‘60s jangle, garage rock muscle and spacey, ringing melodicism" – Rave magazine
