The Silent Room
New Beginnings

Today we’re premiering The Silent Room's new song, Veins, the focus track of his upcoming EP, Fluorescent, set for release on October 18th via Meddle. The UK artist, also known as Tim Oliver, who before spearheading this solo project performed as a keyboard player around the world with a range of artists including Neneh Cherry and Boy George, gracing stages at the likes of Glastonbury, is now ready to share his new project, an EP oozing with the richly evocative nostalgia of 80s dance music.
Before starting his personal solo project, Tim Oliver performed with artists such as Lady Gaga and toured some of the world's biggest stages alongside highly acclaimed profiles worldwide. After having lived all these amazing experiences and having much knowledge about how the music industry works, The Silent Room shares his new irresistibly upbeat, lush dance anthem, Veins, following the release of his debut single You’ll Never Know. This is the focus track of Fluorescent, a dreamy body of work and a promising first project from The Silent Room.
The debut EP features collaborations with Jess Greenfield, Owen Parker, Sam Wilcock, and Iain Hornal. “There’s hope. Big, beautiful, lush layers... warm, uplifting, euphoric. And there’s doubt: lyrically, it’s reflective, complicated, and problematic,” shared the artist, who is influenced by Pink Floyd, The 1975, and Peter Gabriel, among others, on his social media a few days ago. He welcomes a new era that comes along with a sound that's dreamy synthscape reminds us of M83, TOTO, and Cannons. The upcoming EP, produced by Tim himself, was mixed by double Grammy-winner Julian and mastered by Robin Schmidt. “I’ve always been drawn to records that flow well from start to finish and reward repeated listens, so I hope Fluorescent does the same for you,” he adds.
