BAND OF THE DAY

“

CFCF's latest critically acclaimed release is 2012's Exercises, eight tracks of mysterious electronic compositions that often lack beats or vocals, instead relying on Silver's ability to spin simple parts into mesmerizing panoramas. ”

Lyrics from Band of the Day Review

CFCF is the stage name of Canadian electronic musician Michael Silver. Based in Montreal, Silver took the name CFCF from the call sign of the city’s CFCF-TV. For his new EP ‘Exercises’, out April 24th on Paper Bag Records, CFCF shows a different side of his palette with a series of subdued piano and synth based pieces. Pulling from influences like Philip Glass, Ryuichi Sakamoto and David Borden, among others, and using institutional architecture and 70s Canadiana as a framework, the EP has a distinctly 20th century feel.
