CRITIC REVIEWS

The End Of Silence is a tasteful look at the butterfly effect that is smart not to get caught up in the consequences of a moment, instead exploring that moment to the fullest and leaving you to wonder.

The Line of Best Fit

If Matthew Herbert’s aim was to take us with him as he wandered inside the sound of the bomb’s impact, then he’s absolutely succeeded.

Beats Per Minute

The End of Silence is a serious statement that can bring the harshness of war to your ears and occasionally make you rethink how casually you consume the news.

71
Pitchfork

The End of Silence is Herbert effectively tussling with what "significance" means at this particular moment in time, in a record that's as much a part of the gathering noise of the 21st century as it is a comment on the constant numbing we've wreaked upon ourselves.

Tiny Mix Tapes

It’s because of this potentiality for renovating worldviews that we should ply cautious optimism to Matthew Herbert’s latest album, The End of Silence, which among his already semi-polemical albums has the potential to be his most divisive yet.

70
FACT Magazine

The End Of Silence aims to unseat us and provoke a more profound engagement with the events around us, and to that end it’s a success.

The 405

If you are willing to put the work in, you may find The End of Silence, not so much rewarding, but interesting, and enlightening.
