about
“Travelling by Candlelight” is the second album from Bedfordshire-based melodic indie band Silver Biplanes, following their much–loved debut "A Moment in the Sun”. Once again they have drawn upon a wide range of influences, and “Travelling by Candlelight” is a heady mix of choruses, hooks and catchy tunes in which you’ll hear traces of psychedelia, post-punk, krautrock and more.
It is a joint release between two cult indie labels: Old Bad Habits from Athens, Greece, and wiaiwya from London, England.

The album includes eight new songs from songwriter Tim Vass covering a wide range of subjects from insomnia to transistor radios, and from memories of childhood to facing up to mortality.
“Travelling by Candlelight” also features an esoteric group of four “Silver” themed songs which were recorded in late 2022 and originally intended for an EP of cover versions. As it turned out, the band liked them so much that they decided to hold them back for their second album. We’re pretty confident that this is the first ever LP to feature songs written by Mike Nesmith, Hawkwind, La Dusseldorf and Hamilton Streetcar!
Silver Biplanes are led by wife-and-husband team Vanessa Vass and Tim Vass. Vanessa was the singer in 90’s indie band The Melons who are probably best remembered for their two legendary live sessions on Mark Radcliffe’s Radio 1 show. Tim was bassist and lyricist in cult Creation label band Razorcuts, co-writing all of the songs on their two albums, both of which landed in the top 3 of the Indie Album Charts.
They are joined by drummer Rob Scott, guitarist Noel Douglas and keyboard player Steve Peebles, adding a range of shimmering textures to the album and to Silver Biplanes live shows.

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly.
