As the DIY story goes, Sebastian Nehen recorded, mixed, and mastered Silent Kid’s recently released, self-titled debut ten years ago in his home in Berlin. Then — life, that funny thing that doesn’t stop happening. And so these pop gems proceeded to sit in a dusty computer in Nehen’s basement, until Portland’s Breakup Records was able to help revive and release this stellar collection.
Now, hot of the release and songs that might have never seen the light of the day, we ask Nehen what are some of the things that keep him going when the world won’t stop spinning.
1. Escape (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes
