Silver Columns - Cavalier

The mysterious duo Silver Columns have already built up a cult fanbase with their first two limited edition, white label singles, “Brow Beaten” and “Yes, and Dance”. With “Cavalier’”, their first official release on the perennially tastemaking label Moshi Moshi, they are finally ready to go overground and let the world be aware of their offbeat electro pop greats.

A frantic opening battalion of synths acts as ‘Cavalier’s clarion call to the dancefloor, with the rest of the track piling on in a dizzying rush of pinballing beats, urgent keyboard lines and deceptively sweet vocals plaintively asking, can you hear me now? (as if there was ever any doubt in the first place). Taken from their imminent debut, the leftfield meisterwerk-in-waiting YES AND DANCE (and featuring a remix from Richard Norris, aka Beyond the Wizards Sleeve, in his new guise Time and Space Machine), ‘Cavalier’ brings Silver Columns further into the light, blinking, undimmed and as defiantly odd as ever.

The video was directed by DARYL for Pulse Films while the single will be released as 12”, via Moshi Moshi, on May 17th 2010.
