Screen Door by Applied Silence

APPLIED SILENCE’S SCREEN DOOR

The debut LP from Applied Silence is a tonally dynamic merging of atmospheric post-rock and intimate first-person narrative from musician-composer Stephen Lyons (Fond of Tigers) and multi-disciplinary writer-director José Teodoro. Shifting between dreamy wonderment, bracing dissonance, and twilit suspense, SCREEN DOOR features musical contributions from Lyons, Shanto Acharia (Limbs of the Stars), and Paul Rigby (Neko Case), alongside vocals from veteran theatre performers Tasha Faye Evans, Marina Moreira, and Steven Hill (founder of Vancouver avant-performance titans Leaky Heaven).

SCREEN DOOR chronicles two idiosyncratic ghost stories. In one, a woman receives a postcard originally delivered to her now-deceased father thirty-six years ago. In the other, a man falls asleep at the movies and wakes to discover he’s been transformed in some manner beyond his reckoning. Fusing the uncanny and the ordinary, these stories converse with eerie melodies, primal percussion, ominous electronics, and flights of blissful reverie, conjuring the feeling of being haunted by some unresolved past, of time folding in on itself. SCREEN DOOR is an immersive tandem narrative in which memory, myth, magic, and loss coalesce.

From Applied Silence—playwright José Teodoro and composer Stephen Lyons (Fond of Tigers)—Screen Door’s eerie post-rock narratives move between dreaminess, dissonance, and twilit suspense.
