Silent Partner is the eighth full length album by American noise rock band Neptune, released on October 11, 2011, by Northern Spy Records.
Reception
[edit]Adam Strohm of Dusted Reviews said of the album:
Way back in 1998 or so, when I had just begun writing about music, I was sent a compilation called Boston Underbelly. Released by Sublingual Records (a label that appears to have gone dormant circa 2001), the album brings together a handful of Beantown noisemakers, improvisers, or otherwise outsider practitioners of the sonic arts. Though I already had some vague notion of Neptune’s existence and the band’s use of self-made instruments, the comp was my introduction to their sound. Over the intervening years, I’ve come across the band’s releases from time to time, and hear the Neptune name uttered off and on, and seen the band live, but Neptune has always seemed to exist at the periphery of whatever circles I find myself in, their orbit rarely crossing my own. Save for inhabitants of Boston and the surrounding environs, I don’t think I’ve been alone. This may, however, be about to change. After releasing 2008’s Gong Lake on Table of the Elements, Neptune have found a new home on Northern Spy, which counts Rhys Chatham, Zs, Bird Names, and Tom Carter among its previous or current residents. Whether this means that Silent Partner will be Neptune’s big appearance at the debutante ball, I’m not sure, but they’re certainly wearing something new for the occasion.[1]
Notes from the label's Bandcamp include:
"...it’s a tightly controlled sonic environment. The eight-minute “Cash Mattress” might be a display of sonic creation, but when they come around to the simple rock of “Canine Spaces” the sound is familiar, even if the sounds comprising it aren’t. Neptune is not dealing in willful avant-gardism. They are creating out of necessity. They’re crafting new rock where the old one won’t do. Excitement’s at play."[2]
Packaging
[edit]Silent Partner was issued worldwide on CD and LP via American avant-garde record label Northern Spy Records.[3] The CD was released in digipak format. The LP release was pressed into black vinyl.
