UMUR
"Silencing The Singing" is an EP release by Norwegian experimental music act Ulver. The EP was released through Jester Records in December 2001. It´s a sibling release to the September 2001 "Silence Teaches You How To Sing" EP, and along with the material found on the sibling release, most of the material featured on "Silencing The Singing" was recorded during the recording sessions for "Perdition City: Music To An Interior Film" (Ulver´s fifth full-length studio album), which was released in March 2000.

The EP features 3 tracks and a total playing time of 28:55 minutes. Stylistically this is electronic ambient music, featuring a lot of repetition and slow building songwriting. Not much happens during the playing time, but it´s a relatively pleasant ambient release, with some subtle melodies to maintain the listeners attention under the layers of glitches and dark ambient elements of the music. "Silencing The Singing" is well produced too and if you enjoyed the dark ambient nature of "Perdition City: Music To An Interior Film", you may appreciate this release too, although it´s a bit more minimalistic. A 2.5 (50%) rating is warranted.
