  • Bio

    .. .. “This band presents hallowed, spooky indie rock that twists your heartstrings and makes you want to take a slow drive to everywhere you’ve ever been.”.... ..All-Campus Radio Network’s Top Ten Albums of 2009.... .. “Silver Starling’s songs have an unhurried, open-ended musicality that allows listeners to enter on their own terms. Brooding emotion is given room to breathe, ethereal guitar textures as important as the space that surrounds them.” .... ..The Montreal Gazette.... .. “Paquin’s singing voice, only slightly above a whisper, is earnest bordering on urgent; it conveys both intimacy and expansiveness.” .... ..The Montreal Gazette.... .. “…glows in the dark, with effervescent guitars and keys…”.... ..Montreal Mirror.... .. “Their self-titled debut is a rich mix of vulnerable vocals, lingering guitar riffs, and textured stadium-rock sounds.” .... ..Earshot.... .. “That emotional mix percolates below the surface of nearly every song on the album -- with driving rhythms (especially on songs such as opener “Something Over Nothing”) upping the urgency with a rush of blood to the head.” .... ..Dose.ca.... .. “…incredibly powerful collection of songs…”.... ..Soundproof Magazine.... .. “…a self-titled debut that shimmers with brilliantly conceived, skillfully executed art-pop: smart music that also knows how to move.” .... ..Direct Current.... .. “A five-piece that plays touchingly vulnerable yet heart-achingly optimist slow rock tinged with the gentleness of folk.” .... ..Nightlife Magazine.... .. “…a collection of poignant melodic rock songs with atmospheric guitar and the heartfelt vocals of Paquin.” .... ..Jonk Music.... .. “…meticulously constructed arrangements…Every texture in every song moves as one and the band uses big sounds - swirling guitars and strings, group vocals and big drums…”.... ..Hero Hill.... ..

    Marcus Paquin.. Marika Shaw.. Peter X.. Gab Lambert.... An acclaimed five piece who pour their emotions into every track, Silver Starling has quickly found its way onto critics’ radars while audiences have been won over by the group’s brand of earnest and energizing rock. .... At the core of the ensemble is Marcus Paquin, lead singer and main songwriter, who after spending years working with several Montreal bands as a musician, producer, and recording engineer, started dedicating himself to his own project. He met up first with drummer, Liam O’Neill, and together they started playing, recording and writing songs. Marika Anthony-Shaw, a violin, viola and keyboard player -- and Paquin’s wife -- became the natural third member of the group. “Liam and I were working on the songs,” Paquin says, “and she would come back from tour a week at a time and jam with us, or just lend an objective ear.” A friend of Paquin’s and bassist for Sevens Project, Peter X, offered to record with them and since then Silver Starling has also added Gab Lambert who plays guitars and banjo and interjects a sparkling personality into the mix. .... Silver Starling, the group’s lush self-titled debut displays a rare feat in songwriting, balancing difficult realities with poignant optimism. This promising new band’s first work is full of sincere, sonically-rich tracks, and such nuance is at the core of Silver Starling’s appeal. This earned them a deal with Toronto label Last Gang Records (New Pornographers, Metric and MSTRKRFT) and their highly anticipated LP, Silver Starling, was released across North America in the Fall of 2009. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..!!!
