the quiet ones: the quiet ones

Marc Brown and Chris Franck are two revered musicians, producing works of extreme beauty since the mid 90’s. The passion they both share for Brazilian and African music has always been a strong bond in their working relationship, influences of which can also be seen in the various other projects and collaborations they have been involved with over the years such as Da Lata, KV5 and Humble Records. Having spent the last twenty years travelling extensively around the world with solo projects Marc and Chris reunited to deliver this mesmerizing project that features a host of both new and already established London based musicians as well as collaborations with artists from Brazil, Senegal and Jordan. Works for The Quiet Ones album started in the late summer of 2017 and it took two years to be completely finished. Here we are.

Taking inspiration from the many places they’ve been, it is London where they encapsulate those experiences putting the UK capital, their hometown, its infinite diversity, as the center element for this record. The beauty of the compositions, their exploratory braveness, the history that a lot of its elements carry, make The Quiet Ones an essential album for this fall. Involved in a community based music project, the making of the album enabled Marc and Chris’ collaboration with some incredibly talented, young, up and coming London artists but also given them the opportunity to share their knowledge and give back to the community. What a return… The Quiet Ones is available for purchase, via Humble Records.
