Silver Swans - Illusions

Review by Joseph Gier

Illusions by Silver Swans is a mesmerizing and hauntingly beautiful album that showcases the duo's unique blend of dreamy synth-pop and darkwave. The album opens with the ethereal "Secrets," which sets the tone for the rest of the record with its soaring vocals, pulsing beats, and atmospheric synths. The standout track, "Heal," is a slow-burning ballad that builds to an epic climax, while "Best Friend in Love" is a catchy, upbeat track that will get listeners dancing. Throughout the album, Silver Swans' vocals are a highlight, with Ann Yu's hauntingly beautiful voice perfectly complementing the lush instrumentation. The production is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp and polished. Illusions is an impressive album that showcases Silver Swans' unique sound and solidifies their place as one of the most promising acts in the indie pop scene.
