"An achingly lovely collection of post classical chamber music."
(Time Out NY)
"Slow, beautiful, and seemingly effortless melancholic elegance."
(All Music)
“A must check for people who’ve been feeling A Winged Victory For The Sullen.”
(Boomkat)

Silence Is Sexy focuses on the so-called (new) contemporary classical composers that are increasingly gaining popularity in the field of ‘pop music’. They are engaged in the world of classical music but are willing to have electronica trickle through in their work, often resulting in a unique sound. .

Christina Vantzou has both the American nationality and Greek roots, and has been living in Brussels for quite a while now. Aside from being a filmmaker, she is also a classically schooled composer. The album ‘N°1’ was released in ‘11 via reputed American indie label Kranky Records. A logical sequel follows in ’14, one which bears the title – how did you guess – ‘N°2’. She prefers to hear ‘Symphony N°2’ though. An album on which “dense layers of strings are augmented by angelic voices, piano, woodwinds and various synthesizers.“

Vantzou was once a member of the band The Dead Texan, which also accommodated Adam Wiltzie (who would later establish A Winged Victory For The Sullen with Dustin O’ Halloran). She never broke that bond, as Wiltzie is not only the engineer on ‘N°2’ but he also partly injected the album with his own signature sound.
