Nia Archives is the star at the forefront of the latest era of jungle. So when it comes to talk of the 24-year-old producer, DJ, singer and songwriter's debut album, the odds are you're thinking of a full-length record of weightless jungle tracks with basslines so intense they'll leave your ears ringing. But the reality, the Leeds raised artist's first album is something a little different. On the thrilling and freeing 'Silence Is Loud', Nia Archives is looking to make music for beyond the rave. 'Silence Is Loud' maintains an exuberant immediacy while still being sleek and spacious, interspersed with flourishes of metallic beats, lush melody and topped with her sugary but powerful vocal, floating over it all. There is an intimacy to the record, perhaps in part due to Nia writing most of her lyrics while sitting in bed in her flat in Bow (once a bedroom producer, always a bedroom producer). 'Silence Is Loud' often finds itself in that push and pull between melancholy and euphoria.
