about
‘Pale Statement Pieces’ is the first New Silver Girl material since their debut album from 2018.
New Silver Girl‘s lead protagonist Olli Happonen has fashioned a new line-up of the band featuring city of Helsinki natives Lauri Alhojärvi, Petteri Falck and Mikael Rautasalo. Having spent the last couple of years becoming friends, learning to play together and even playing shows together (when that was possible) – the band are releasing their recorded debut from this combination of four musicians. The result is the four minutes and forty seconds of self-described “gentle yet wild psychedelic pop music.”
“‘Pale Statement Pieces’ deals with loneliness, inconsistency and the soul-protecting power of music in the midst of the waves of time.” Olli tells us.
I count the days
I count the hours
I count the minutes
That you’ve been runnin’ free
I cut the pages of my meaningful life
With a paper knife
I can see your pale statement pieces
I can see your pale statement pieces
Hey watch the sun
Watch the sky
See my Lisa Marie
Never reaching the clouds
King Creole’s fine
For a one red wine
You said: ”Come on time, you’d better make me shine”
I can see your pale statement pieces
I can see your pale statement pieces
Before I gotta run
The star rain falls down
I can see you in heaven tonight
Those well known songs crossed my mind
Your pale blue eyes reflect the lightning light
I can see your pale statement pieces
I can see your pale statement pieces
I can see your pale statement pieces
I can see your pale statement pieces
