The Brooklyn-based duo was the result of a song-writing partnership between longtime friends and multi-instrumentalists, Sun-Odeon and Bosler. Their debut album was recorded over two weeks in the late summer of 2007 and released in June 2008 on Language of Stone, an imprint of indie label Drag City. On the album, the varied and hard-to-peg songs meld such diverse influences as British-folk finger-style guitar (they give a dark and otherworldly spin on Bert Jansch's "Wishing Well"), Peking opera ("Awaken"), Roma/gypsy folk ("Fool's Love"), Turkish saz riffs ("Water's Edge"), metal and shoegaze atmospherics ("The Door"), and Middle-Eastern accents and rhythms.
Sun-Odeon, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist, grew up taping classical music pieces off the radio and sneaking a hand held transistor radio into bed to listen to beneath the sheets. Her past includes drumming and playing guitar in several noise rock bands in D.C. and, over these years, recording quiet meditations for voice and guitar. For Bosler, Silver Summit had its origins nearly 10 years previously while he was living in Portland, Oregon There he first explored finger-style guitar (he was fortunate enough to study with finger-style master John Fahey), studied Roma/gypsy folk music, and honed his compositional skills in his avant-classical guitar and string combo, Mercurium.
Silver Summit combined the duo's love for folk music of the world with contemporary melancholic and psychedelic sounds.
