More Info:

Her first album in over two years, coming after her acclaimed debut, UNTIL DEATH COMES. Whereas that release was lean and percussive with her distinctive oompah-styled piano and direct lyrics, SILENCE IS WILD stretches her voice across lush arrangements of piano, strings, choirs, and synthesizers. Appropriate touchstones include Carole King, Jerry Lee Lewis, Plush, and Antony And the Johnsons. Lyrically, however, Hyvonen forges her own stylistic path, blending the confessional with the fictional; mixing wit with a sexuality that shifts from the refined to the raw, using language that dances between the timeless and the contemporary, and referencing high art and pop culture in a transcendent manner.
