Tory Silver – Boy Disco

We only came across Tory Silver a few weeks ago, and we’re very much fans at this point. The hugely talented Pittsburgh talent returns with another showstopper that we’re pretty excited to be sharing with you.

Contrary to its title, ‘Boy Disco’ is a refreshingly fuzzy and sonically textured garage-rock song that carries its charm in its rawness. Lifted from Tory’s ‘In Through the Front with Lasers’ album (out on the 29th May), the song represents ‘a stream of consciousness at heart’. Silver elaborates:

“The album is about moving forward in life despite the obstacles thrown our way, and this song is where I just wrote down what I was feeling. By the end, it shifts into something more tender – a reminder of how important it is to have the right people in your life, and a hope that everyone has that. That, and it’s a freaking rock song.”

Tory Silver – Microwave

Video Still / Michi Tapes

Pittsburgh-based artist, singer and songwriter Tory Silver has been winning fans and critics alike for almost a decade and still manages to craft some of the most interesting indie-rock sounds to emerge from Pennsylvania.

New single ‘Microwave’ is taken from Silver’s upcoming ‘In Through the Front with Lasers‘ album, which is out on the 29th of May. The track was inspired by the mundane moments that we experience in life and showcases a production that applies fuzzy guitar tones over a raw rock sound.

Silver’s reputation as a live artist has seen her perform all over the Northeast and Midwest of the States while also playing alongside the likes of Katy Kirby and Ezra Furman.
