Starsailor will release the Phil Spector produced ‘Silence Is Easy’ on 1 Sep, the first single to be taken from the band's second album by the same name.
Singer James Walsh said: "We wanted to make the sound as big and wide screen and as open as possible. While everyone was trying to make themselves sound as small and bluesy as possible Spector was great at doing that."
The single will be released on CD (with B-sides ‘Could You Be Mine’ and 'She Understands'), DVD (with the video, a live version of 'Good Souls' and a making-of-the-video bit), and limited edition vinyl (with 'She Understands').
