A music video for Silent Planet‘s new track “Orphan” has hit the net. Vocalist Garret Russell said of the song:
“Orphan explores the cultural chasm between the western and eastern world. In the recent political sphere, we’ve seen instance after instance of politicians framing our narrative of other cultures around the world – often painting other cultures and religions with one broad brush to lead us to unfounded conclusions.
Simultaneously, we see the same political tactics being used on the other side of the world – often fanning the flames of fanaticism and anti-West sentiment. Orphan examines two men, caught between the poles of extremism and confusion at one another’s culture.
The video shows how perception of one another can so often distort reality – bringing us to the greatest illness of all: Fear.
The band’s new album “Everything Was Sound” is headed for a July 01st release date on Solid State.
