A Swift Farewell Make Their Mark With “Silence”

Eora/Sydney emo powerhouse A Swift Farewell are back with their first single of 2025, “Silence.” Don’t let the title or gentle start fool you. This track really kicks in when the chorus drops.

It’s also the first song the band recorded with their new bassist, Gabrielle Michael. “I’m beyond excited to be teaming up with my very best friends in A Swift Farewell,” they enthused. “It feels like a long time coming after filling in on bass for them on tour. Nothing feels better than sharing the stage with people who you not only love, but know that they share the same deep passion for the art you create together.”

A Swift Farewell have a couple of gigs at The Lansdowne coming up to celebrate the release of “Silence”. Catch them at the following hometown shows:

15 February 2025 – The Lansdowne, Eora/Sydney (supporting As December Falls)
28 February 2025 – Good Intent’s After Dark Event @ The Lansdowne, Eora/Sydney (FREE)

Pete Campbell Releases Beautiful New Single, “Silence”

“Silence,” the new single from Eora/Sydney singer-songwriter Pete Campbell was released a few weeks ago now, but unless you’re already a fan you probably wouldn’t know it. It’s one of those gentle folky songs that unfairly doesn’t get airplay, but it’s so beautiful that it really deserves some time in the sun.

Pete’s voice drew me in on the first voice, but I fell even more in love with this track when Ellen Soffe, from Ellen and the Ooroos, joined in. Her voice is purer than Pete’s, and the contrast in those textures is just stunning.

“Silence” comes from Pete’s sophomore EP Parley, which is also worth a listen. I think “Silence” might be my favourite track, but they’re all gorgeous songs bound to appeal to anyone who enjoys artists like Nick Drake and Bob Dylan.
