Silian Rail are two long lost friends who play instrumental music. Robin plays richly complex, open-tuned, finger picked guitar melodies and bass lines, while Eric adds intense and intricate drumming, with additional splashes of guitar, bass pedals, and bells that he kicks with bare feet. Their music is equal parts explosive dynamic intensity and patient reflectiveness.
In their five years as a band they have released two full length records, their latest, Parhelion (Parks and Records in the US, internationally on Subsuburban) garnering international critical acclaim; and numerous 7 inches and limited edition EPs. In addition, they have composed several film scores, had songs in independent films, and been featured on an impressive range of music media sites, blogs, and in national print press. All of this while touring the country extensively, in a station wagon, playing everywhere from the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco to the Cat's Cradle in North Carolina, with more than a few church basements, former mortuaries, beaches, forests and tiny, sweaty houses in between, sharing the stage with bands such as Maserati, The Velvet Teen, Caspian, Efterklang and From Monument to Masses. Collaboration has also been central to their creativity, be it with multimedia visual artists (Jon Fisher, Luke Judd, Klea McKenna) or musicians from the fertile Bay Area scene (Judgement Day, Tartufi, The Aimless Never Miss, Dina Maccabee).
